My Thoughts

Romance

The Wedding is the sequel to the famous heartwarming romantic movie “The Notebook”. Romance is something that everyone hopes and dreams about their life partner. We all dream of such romantic days as candlelight dinners, romantic dances, roses or bouquets on Valentine’s Day, or receiving gifts without reason. In the early stages of our affair and marriage, we do remove time for such occasions as it’s a new phrase in our life. The excitement to know each other’s habits and likes and dislikes

Parenthood

But as time passes into years, we enter into the next phase of our life which is parenthood. Our whole life revolves around our kids. As a parent, we run in a race to give a good, no a better life to our family. Parent work harder and harder only that their kids will have a better life.

Sometimes our parents had to work late or tour due to company work for days or miss out on special days like birthdays, graduation day, or any festivals so that the family would have a better and brighter future. Slowly and gradually the time passes, the romance is not gone but is lost somewhere down the lane.

Responsibility

Kids won’t be around us are whole life, they grow up, they will start living their own life, they will have their dreams and ambitions to achieve. That time as a parent we realize the things that we miss, the feeling that was lost somewhere down the lane in the race for a better life. Now when you are getting free from your responsibility, start living out those moments that you lose.

Remember when you used to get dressed up for the dates for your partner? Going out for movies or dinners. Or just go for a long drive or enjoy a cup of coffee watching the rain. Dance to your favorite song. Shy!!! that the kids will see and laugh at you, forget it.

Grab the moment, and cherish every minute that you spend with each other, life is too short to waste on complaints. As said in one of the movies of Nicholas Sparks “When you live too long and you start losing the ones you love, you start cherishing the moments that you have.”

About the Novel
