When life gives you lemons

Make lemonades?? Well, it's definitely easier said than done, but all you can do is stay strong and face it. Life is meant to have challenges and the tough period just makes you stronger. Instead of cribbing on minute issues, think about people who face the harshest time. Draw inspiration from them and thank God that you have to deal with a smaller issue.

My life problems are seemed big like Irritating mother in law, naughty kids, not so expressive husband, no job etc etc, but today I realised how lucky I am. My husband's cousin brother made me realise that my problems are just like tiny atoms scattered in the air while he is dealing with a mountain.

My husband's cousin is a good guy who owned land and looked after acres of land in his village. He lacked good qualification, but what he was doing didn't needed him to be qualified. He fell in love with his cousin sisters neighbor who agreed to marry him on a condition that he would shift to a city and find a job for himself. When Cupid strikes arrow everything seems beautiful and he just followed his heart. His parents followed him to this new big city after selling all properties they owned in their village.

He asked her parents and they agreed to get them married. Though her demands were away from his reach financially, he never said 'NO' to her. She was treated like a princess. They had a baby boy some years later and life seemed to be awesome. They seemed so much in love until she found a job for herself. She started earning and staying away from home on weekends on the pretext of sleepovers which soon took over week days too. Though he found something missing, he was too busy as he was the one taking care of their child. Everything seemed fine, but it wasn't.

It is just hours that he told us that he is getting divorced from the lady he loved. She has an affair at office and wants to marry that guy. I was shocked as their child is just a year younger to my older son and I know how boys are at this age. I feared that the joy would not be able to handle the emotions properly, but then my husband's cousin told us that his wife is not taking the child with her. She asked her son if he wants to stay with his daddy and he said 'yes' and she let him be with his daddy and moved out to stay with her boy friend.

While this news was a complete shocker for a a conservative family like ours, the guy had more problems to share. He recently lost his job too as the company he was working at shut doors. Now he is jobless, financially unstable and emotionally weak. He is broken, but displaying a strong face for the sake of his child.

It came a surprise to me as I have never heard about any mother leaving her child befind for her boy friend. I am a woman who places my kids before everything else. It has been months that the little boy has not seen his mother. My heart cries for that baby. I wish karma does take on her.
