Deepika Venkatachalam Instagram – My biggest fear almost came alive and I think I survived it. 🥹🧿
My year started like all of yours did. A good vibe, grateful for the year and everything was almost fine. Nothing to cry about, apart from watching movies that tore me.
A very normal hospital check-up APPA had, and it turned everything around for me. The fear I was talking about?
Watching your parents get old. That was one, the other that I saw was “what happens watching them be sick”
My happy little world that showed me love almost crumbled in front of my eyes. :/
And I saw how much I love them and how blessed I am to be there for them as their daughter.
The feeling of trusting my GODS only became more over the last one month. I know there’s a power that keeps me alive and gives me strength.There was a time when I began to question, “Does God really exist? Who am I praying to? And why am I praying so much?” Oru moment elaathyum maathum solluvaanga. Now that I’ve gotten my answer, I realized that GOD IS THERE and that all my prayers have been heard. :’) ♥️
I saw god in everything around me, the silent cries from my people, the community that prayed for me when I asked to. I saw god in my people. And their love. (Yes you all! )
Appa is doing okay now, god knows what we all went through.
Now in all this what can I see as a blessing? I learned that I can go through this and be there as their daughter. I missed akka, the elder daughter that made sure I didn’t feel the heaviness all along. Keeping her updated on video calls, crying together with her on video calls, praying with her on video calls. I can be the adult who will show up for my parents. And I have my girls who will let me ugly cry and promise me it will be okay a hundred times. I have a husband who would be the son my parents never had. Adulting is no joke. It comes and teaches you life itself.
Trust me. We all got this. I got it and you will get through this and after that? You’re ready for the world 🙂 💌
