THOSE DAYS!
Today it was the "Annual Sports Day". I loved it. I got up early, finished all my work & got set to be in Nehru Stadium on time. Pearl, Emerald, Ruby & Sapphire were in full force. March past,the first event.....,remembered the practise & the hours of hard work. Those times when we stayed back just to make sure our house wins. Putting our best food forward to make sure each one is there to represent the house!
What pride! Every heat for the track & field events in full attendance to see that the house each one represents wins. What patriotism!Loved the jealousy when it came to victory of my house.
Today the score board showed Emerald in the lead!I was thrilled! Every event had a representative from Emerald. I didn't know them personally but the "green T-shirt" was all I cheered for. The cheering , the clapping and the laughter that came with victory.... the shocks and the disappointment that came with defeat....God I knew it all once & today I felt it all over again!Each time there was a race...the adrelanin would go pumping.
Emerald won & took the trophy... What a proud moment!!
Only this time I was cheering for the house my kids belonged to. Thank you Chiraag & Dhruv you took me back to my sports day. One of the blessings of having kids...
YOU RELIVE YOUR CHILDHOOD THROUGH THEM.
