The Diary Game #56: Share your day with us!

On Monday, October 14th, I started my day with a little worry. I felt no freshness. I usually enjoy hearing birds chipping in the early morning, but on that particular day, it gave me an unpleasant feeling. I headed to the kitchen even without drinking the glass of water I take every morning on my empty stomach.

I was sat on a chair in the kitchen for a while. After few minutes, I prepared two cups of tea, one for my husband and one for myself. I had no desire to drink that, but as a habit, I sipped it.

It was around 6.00 a.m., I prepared roti and fish curry for us and my son’s family. They were scheduled to leave us for three months to my daughter-in-law's native place with my grandson. They stayed here till they were confident in the health of the daughter and newborn grandchild. My sister-in-law was unable to stay here since she needed to care for her husband. We've been in a pretty good mood in recent days because of our baby grandchild. However, no longer we have such happiness. We will not be able to visit them in the future for a long time, because my daughter's hometown is more than 175 kilometers away.

That day, I didn’t want to go for my walking routine, so I let my husband go alone and I stayed at home. After preparing the meal, I called my son and asked him to carry them. While I was performing my house chores my son came; he understood my situation and hugged me, saying “Don’t be sad Mom, we will be back soon”. I held back my tears and went away to continue my other work.

After serving my husband and Beenu’s breakfast, I went to my son’s house to bathe the baby. With sorrowful emotions, I bathed my grandson cuddling him to my body. I stayed with them till my grandson fell asleep after breast-feeding. As he went to sleep, I returned to my house to prepare our lunch.

Though I cooked rice and curry, I had no appetite to eat. I gave lunch to my husband and Beenu, and without eating my portion I drank water. Then I opened Steemit to relieve my anxiety, but it seemed too complicated, so I closed it and went out.

My husband and I decided to go to my son's house at 2.30 p.m., with the gift we prepared for our grandson. When we arrived there, they were preparing everything to depart.

The baby was on the bed, and I felt my eyes filled with tears. My daughter hugged me and kissed me on my cheek, reassuring me, “Mom, we’ll be back soon”.

They said their goodbyes and got into the car, I placed my gift on the baby’s hand and said "Here is a small gift from us". When they departed us, I could hardly hold back my emotions. I kept looking at them till they were out of sight. My tears, which I had been holding back for so long, finally flowed freely.

I returned home without waiting for my husband and curled up in bed, hugging my pillow and letting my sad flow freely til I fell asleep. I awoke the next morning, still with the same feeling, and when my husband asked if I was okay, I couldn't find the joy to respond.
