Yesterday was my grandpa's 93rd birthday and we had fun :) I think his grandchildren were more excited than him and we were quite busy trying to do something that would make his day. Memories of my childhood are interweaved with grandpa giving us cashew nuts, passion fruits, and sweets and massaging his back as he had back pain till now. I used to spend most of my school vacation at his place; Grandma, Sanga, Diktei, and I would go for orange picking with him and came back with a lot of oranges fresh off of the tree. I admire him a lot as I've been watching him for a while now. He's a well-disciplined man, the smartest man I know, and the sweetest granddad. He has been keeping a diary and have been praying to God regularly until today. I swear that a man like him would be hard enough to find. Though grandma had left for her heavenly abode, Apu has always been strong and dependable for his children and grandchildren. And as he turned 93 this month, I'm so thankf...

 A year ago today, I went to the dentist for a check-up, it was a rainy day. What I remember is that my heart was truly owned by God at that time. I don't wanna say that He doesn't now, but at some point, I am as  close to Him these days as I used to be. It might be because a lot of things have happened since we've returned from Bangalore, before the Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown. I've been staying at home and I've been so lazy since then, many people may be devoting their time to God more than before. But when it comes to me, I've realized that my laziness is what makes me slumber during prayers, minimizing my time for Bible readings and stuff. Not that I wasn't lazy back then, but I could always make time for God as I was always active enough to think of His love for me. Still, He is always with me even though I haven't been the best daughter lately. I feel a lot more sorry at the thought of that. I am still healthy and still have a place to call ...
