Bharti can hardly believe her older sister Veena is getting married. With all the enthusiasm of wedding plans going on, Bharti can’t help dreaming of the day she will be the bride once again.

 Only two years into her marriage, Veena became widow at 27.The loss of husband was the saddest change in Veena’s life. They both were planning for the birth of their child. They both were happy and preparing for the future, but the destiny already decided something else for them. One day Veena got the news that her husband died while working in  a coalmine. Life was over for her and she forgot to smile. After 1 month her daughter came to this world. She was like a sacred reflection of her husband. Veena gave her a sacred name "Gauri" because her father was a great worshipper of deity Gauri.Life gave one  bright color to Veena.She was busy with her sweet little daughter and was really very happy.Veena worked hard day and night to give every happiness to her daughter .She was a homemaker and her husband as the main person to earn. But without him ,now she has to fulfill so many corners of her life. With a new born baby, Veena decided that she’s not going to give up and she will resolve all the hardships of her life and like this Gauri her daughter became the major source of Veena’s strength to survive.

 

Veena started working and life was real tuff along with a new born baby, demands of the office work and housework.Veena didn’t get time to get involved with some other man as she decided to go for second marriage just because of her daughter. One day  Veena met a man. She found those qualities in him, which were required for a good father and husband. Some where she started liking Ronit.He wanted to marry her and to give his name to her daughter.

 

Gauri  Veena's daughter has celebrated her second birthday with her complete family. She is blessed with a wonderful father, who has decided that Gauri will be only and only child in his life .Veena never forgets to thank God, for completing her family so beautifully.

 

Bharti eyes were filled with tears and she kissed Gauri’s picture and from now on she will take life as it comes.

Gorgeous Bhawana!
Bhawana 'Gather Proud Mom' Sep 14, 2007, 5:47pm EDT
Dear Fatima...you have more knowledge on so many religions.Yes you are very right and till date Indian names are from mythology...Thanks for your great and true interest...

Gauri is also known as Parvati wife of Lord Shiva

Veena ..you are so right....is an instument which is in your icon ( Saraswati deity is holding)

Bharati is also a deity name

Dear Alison ..thank you ...your comments are precious for me as you are such a great writer here on Gather,.
Marge H. Sep 14, 2007, 5:51pm EDT
Lovely story. So happy to hear that Veena has found happiness again with such a good man. If this story is fiction, it is very imaginative and touching and if it is true, I am thrilled for everyone's happiness. And what an adorable child!
Bhawana 'Gather Proud Mom' Sep 14, 2007, 5:55pm EDT
Thanks Marge.....when I first saw this pic I went in my flash back where one of my friend's life was changed suddenly but till date they all are very happy....well This I have tried to connect with that real story.

Hi my favorite Busy Buzzy Bee, I've missed you!
Lovely story , Thank You!

Very touching B4, you're stories are written on social subject, i like the way, but I would say that some traditions are man made such as a man can marry if his wife dies, but a woman it is very hard to impeach such traditions.

------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the add and long long message you left.
A few days ago I looked carefully a bundle of your posted photos.
Well, I thought you are added but next day I found out that she was Reena didi. lol
My mind drools a little sometime.

Bhawana,
I really love this story.
Heart warming and so full of faith and hope.
My cousin sister lost her husband within a year of marriage and she never re-married, fearing the new father might not look after her daughter the real one would have. We always felt the pain she suffered-alone..wishing that she would change her mind and consider re-marriage.
Today her daughter is all grown up and ready to face the world !!
It is destined, I guess...where you go, what you do..
Fred Hose Sep 16, 2007, 5:27am EDT
Wow Bhawana
You got so so close to the story of my life that I'm just able to type this.
I've been tagged and in my tag article I'll explain what I'm talking about. It was an event that changed my life.

I regard you as a very special friend and always look forward to yout comments.

PS You'll be interested to know that South Africa is blessed with a great Veena player.
Marge H. Sep 16, 2007, 3:07pm EDT
I just had to read this again. I loved it so much.
Ramanlal M. Sep 16, 2007, 3:28pm EDT
Where there is a will, there is a way! I admire tremendously Veena's determination to bring up the baby by herself. I know what it is to be alone without the help or conversation sometimes. Two years ago, my wife died suddenly. I felt so alone and lonely. All those who used to visit us suddenly disappeared. Not even a telephone call from them! How cruel the world can be? I got involved with the activities and now I am beginning to 'leave' my life. As I am 70 years of age, I do not think of getting a partner; it is difficult. So, I am happy to note that Veena found a good partner and I wish best of the luck in their future.
Bhawana 'Gather Proud Mom' Sep 16, 2007, 9:00pm EDT
Dear Minnie ..I can understand her fear .It's big step still in many societies ..you said it all correcd thanks for sharing ..yes..it's all destiny and everybody has to go with it...

Marge I loved your review and believe me I am on my way to get it..

Dear Ramanlal...wow your presence makes my day,.after a long time ,..seems you were busy in writing ...I feel that you are a wonderful and a strong person who knows very well to deal with your isolation..I can't explain you how did I feel while reading your post..Partners are more needed in this age of life when you really want some one to be with you..I pray for you to be more courageous ..she is with you and everywhere abnd she is watching you from there..trust me..Thanks for your unforgettable comments..
