Who Am I ???

In a tangled mass of metal and glass, he reached for her hand. He wasn’t sure why the car stalled, or why he was stupid enough to try to make a call from the middle of the intersection, but both happened. And then they were hit. It happened so suddenly that the tractor-trailer that t-boned them never had a chance of stopping. It hit them on the passenger side of the car. He was jarred and his head had been cut open by some mysterious item that he would never find, but she wasn’t moving. Her head was tilted, to the side and her lips had a blue tint to them.
How long had his eyes been closed? How much time had he wasted? The questions were racing through his mind faster than they ever had before. He was sick to his stomach with grief as they used a small tool to slowly cut her out of the once safe vehicle. The paramedics were worried. Something was wrong, very wrong, but they wouldn’t tell him what it was. He was terrified.

Memories flooded through him as he sat helplessly next to the man trying to pump life back into his fiance. He held her hand. He held onto her and did they only thing he knew how. He began to bargain. If you save her, I’ll stop drinking. If you bring her back to me, I’ll go to church and I’ll work less. Just, please, please, don’t take her away from me.
Forty-eight hours passed. She still hadn’t woken up. Her heart was beating, thanks to the machines that she was hooked up to, but she wasn’t breathing on her own. Her brain activity was regular, her body just needed to heal. That’s what the doctors kept telling him. But he couldn’t leave her side. He refused.

Her eyes fluttered open, as though she were seeing light for the first time. He gasped, ran to the door to call for attention, and then ran back to her side, embracing her.
“I was so worried, I thought I’d lost you. I don’t know what I would have done. I’m so glad you’re alright.” His words came out as one rushed sentence and when he pulled away from her, he was shocked. The woman that he had fallen completely in love with was looking at him with sheer terror written on her features. He reached out to touch her face, she flinched.

The nurse came in and started taking her vital measurements, calmly explaining what she knew and telling her that the doctor would be in soon. When all was said and done, she still hadn’t mentioned her fiance, sitting in the corner with his head buried in his hands. Not until he spoke to her, that is.
“Advika, love, are you alright?” His eyes pleaded with hers. Trying to find logic in her next words, in the cornflower blue hue of her soul.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know who you are.”

Spooning!

It’s cute when girls want to be the big spoon. But guys love being the spoon for a few simple reasons:

We can sniff you hair, because for some reason it always smells so good. We get to kiss the back of your neck and wrap our arms tightly around you. We can hold your hands and stroke the back of your palms. We can tickle your stomach and feel the laughter running all through your back. We can feel your heart beat inside your chest and feel you breathing, and it’s always so soothing. We can whisper sweet nothing’s into your ear. We can pull you closer when we begin to feel you slip away. But most of all, we love it because it feels like we’re protecting you, the thing we love most in the world. The only thing worth protecting.

The PROS of raising teenagers

Yes. Believe it or not, there are several advantages to parenting teens. Let's see if I can pull my brain together enough to get a few down here.

1. Teens are addicted to computers. If you own several computers the teens will leave you alone. That means they forget about food and phone calls and television. You can watch what you like, eat whatever you want and even talk on the phone without being bothered.


2. Teens sleep in, every day. This means you can sleep in as well, assuming you don't have a job to go to or a class... The house is very quiet when the teens are sleeping, nice and silent.


3. Teens will always eat pizza. If you forget to make dinner, pizza is only a phone call away.


4. Teens leave their dirty clothes on the floor. If you have a dirty carpet~NO ONE will ever know. They cannot see the carpet through the clothes.


5. Teens like to stay up late. You will never feel lonely again at 2am. Your teen will be awake with you.


6. Teens love to eat late at night. Here's your excuse for a midnight snack. "Oh hi honey, I was just making the kids some food." (He/she'll never know you planned on eating as well.)


7. Teens are messy everywhere~this means you can blame them even if you made the mess. This is very handy.


8. Teens NEVER fill the petrol tank. Something else you can blame on them. "Sweetie, I just filled it. Abhi must have used the car and all the fuel I put in it."


9. Teens forget to turn off lights. You'll never come home to a dark house while you have teens.


10. Teens eat lots. When they are old enough to drive, they are old enough to do the grocery shopping for you. This is very advantageous for those of us who detest grocery shopping.

For all of you who have younger children or no children, let's talk about teens. Don't be scared...well, really smart parents are scared. Teenagers are frickin' scary!
