Mom and Dad never really celebrated their anniversary. Growing up, our gift to them was some sort of video production of us dancing to a Bollywood song that the older children orchestrated, and we would play it for them with a reaction of "good" or "thank you". I remember on a few occasions Dad would get Mom a sari or go into a jewelry store with the right intentions but walk out empty handed, shocked about how much gold had risen to. (Imagine his shock if he knew where it was today!).
I think it's great how supportive we are with Mom, all heading to Boitano to have dinner with her, getting her flowers, etc, but I wonder what she is going through internally on this day.
I hope that however she is feeling, Dad's constant asking of "Kunty" today, reminds her that the man that she's been married to for 39 years does/did love her.
Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!
