Gobind called his Dadi Ma and me to share the joy of receiving his very first paycheck in life. He made sure I was on the speakerphone, listening alongside her.
With great sincerity, he said:
“I am very thankful and grateful to you for all that you did for me, for raising me to be on my own.”
Hearing this, Harvinder replied softly:
“Oh Sunny, you are part of my heart. You don’t need to thank us for the efforts we made. It is the duty of every parent and grandparent to raise their children as nicely as possible.”
But Gobind insisted, saying he wanted to express and record his own heartfelt feelings, no matter what.
At that moment, my heart swelled with pride. This gratitude from our grandson felt like the best award of our lives — a living acknowledgment of our small efforts, now shining in the heights he has reached.
