The duo of Kamala and Priya became a trio when my mother came to live with us. Now four years later, the trio has now become a family of five.
After much thought, and after 10 years of being single, I am now married, and have got another daughter. It is a new way of life, and a lot of changes. There is much joy, and much to ponder. Many challenges ahead - going from single to married, and attempting to parent a child I have not borne. But we hope that love, faith and blessings - from above, and from around us, will hold us in good stead over the years. I believe in blessings.
Quoting from one of my favorite Garth Brooks songs, The River
"I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry"
Wish me luck, dear friends and fellow bloggers.

Compassion Unlimited,
Thank you. Means a lot to me to be wished by someone who has gone through the journey of single parenthood, and knows the challenges. Someone who sounds so serene, and who has been able to find the joy of living despite the challenges. I have always admired that serenity and joie' de vivre.
Thank you, sir!
Priya.
