Today we were on the phone with Amma and got to hear Dan in his element. Hooting and screaming and generally making merry. And for our listening pleasure Amma tickled him and made him laugh out loud. THe laughter that comes out of sheer pleasure and right from his tummy :D. In a way i was happy that he is happy where he is and with whom he is. But then there was also this urge to hold him close and squish and feel his tiny wriggly body against mine.. And Ï"wanted to be the person tickling him and making him laugh. Sigh... I can see a visit to Ktym in the nearest future but that is not good enough..... God give me the serenity to pass through this trial....

Well and while i was mopping around with this thought i came upon this blog and stumbled into this post. I wish i could impart this kind of wisdom to the kids... Maybe i can just divert him to the World Wide Web, instead!!!!!! Anyway, cross posting it here

Simple kind of man.....

Mama told me when I was young

Come sit beside me, my only son

And listen closely to what I say.

And if you do thisIt will help you some sunny day.

Take your time… dont live too fast,

Troubles will come and they will pass.

Go find a woman and youll find love,

And dont forget son,

There is someone up above.

And be a simple kind of man.

Be something you love and understand.

Be a simple kind of man.

Wont you do this for me son,

If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich mans gol

dAll that you need is in your soul,

And you can do this if you try.

All that I want for you my son,

Is to be satisfied.

Boy, dont you worry…

youll find yourself.

Follow you heart and nothing else.

And you can do this if you try.

All I want for you my son,

Is to be satisfied.
