Mumbai:
I was flipping the album of our last vacation. My eyes were rapidly filling with tears.
On the drive back home, we had a major accident. Miraculously my husband and I had survived but our young son, Nalin died on the spot.
Pune:
A mother clicked the first picture of a father-son duo enjoying ice cream. Her son had been saved with a new heart by an organ donor from Mumbai. He had got a fresh lease of life.
My Nalin lives on forever.
It is a good story, Prerna, short but with so much packed in. I liked the poignancy and the hope that you brought in through two snapshots.
Looking forward to read more if your stories.
Thanks Sona. Glad you enjoyed it. You can check out my 100 words stories on the blog. I have posted several of them ?
This was wonderfully told Prerna.. in death there is life and someone we truly love never leaves us.. Glad the parents found a way to keep him alive even after his soul had departed
True Akshata. Very few of us are able to do it actually but hoping it inspires ?
Nicely written Prerna though I feel it could have had a stronger punch. a stronger ending.
Point noted. Shall keep in mind for next time!
It left me with goose-bumps. Truly, life is beautiful and when such time comes we should be ready!
Thanks Poonam. I’m glad you liked it!
Beautifully written. Short yet very profound with an emotion and filled with social message at the same time.
Thanks so much! You can check out my other 100 words stories as well.
