But of course this is a far more connected world than that of the late seventies, when my one-year old nephew went back to England after thoroughly entertaining all of us for six happy weeks. I still remember my mother's expression when she bade adieu to her very first grandchild......dipalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01070862196307376073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6089956061483501286.post-72220352965489481132014-10-10T15:18:11.892+05:302014-10-10T15:18:11.892+05:30I found this post very touching, Dipali.

Then, every visit to nana-nani-dada-dadi house is a treat! I speak from experience, both as a grand daughter and as a mother. <br />The world is so connected now. Don't worry. You'll be touch!

So glad you've had these months, though. Hugs.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10819608939555247317noreply@blogger.com
