Today Poppsy called up from the hospital after his check-up to tell us that all his tests are done and are ok, his ECG is good, sugar level is within limits etc. Post the conversation I see Amma smiling and she say’s “ You just wait and watch, he’s going to come from office and head straight for a drink”. As usual being Daddy's girl I disagree saying “ no no, he has been a good boy for almost 2 months, he won’t do that. He knows what good for him”. But guess what (!) Amma was right !!! He comes back home, shows us the med report ( like he was showing his report card-cute) and heads straight for his Jim Beam !!!
How ..HOW do they both manage to have such great connection after 33yrs ?? How does Amma know what Poppsy is going to do ? And how does Appa manage to figure out her moods and feelings even without her saying so ?? Are they having some kind of special conversation when I am not around ( which in the last 3 months could not have been possible since I am “there” ALL THE TIME). I still sometimes am baffled at how even after being with each other for sooo long, they have soooo much to talk to each other all the time. I feel the pinch thou on all our car drives cause they have SOO much to talk to each other that I just sit in the back seat getting totally ignored ( something which I DO NOT like..hmpf). Is there something that their generation “gets” about love and companionship that we the GenX just don’t ? We tend to run out of conversations after a while or just stop sharing like the other person was the enemy. However they seem to love,tend, partner around their lives so well.
Guess I’ll never know the secret they share for having this kind of a connection, however I pray each day for them to keep sharing the beautiful relationship they have. It sure gives me hope.
