Blogger’s Delightful Reunion
Vasanthy boarded the flight and settled into her seat, eager to meet her grandchildren in Boston. After two long years, she was finally visiting her daughter Roshani’s family. Her husband, Ramesh, couldn't join her this time due to work commitments.
Roshani had given birth to twins the previous year, and Vasanthy, now 53, had become a grandmother. Ramesh was 57. Roshani worked in a leading bank, and her husband Vishnu was employed at a top software company. They owned a lovely home in a centrally located area of Boston.
After an 18-hour journey, Vasanthy arrived in Boston. She was greeted warmly by her son-in-law, Vishnu, who explained that Roshani couldn’t come to the airport because of the twins. After a pleasant 30-minute drive, they reached home.
Roshani embraced her mother tightly, and the twins, Atul and Vishal, greeted their pretty grandma with innocent smiles. Vasanthy was amazed to see how much they had grown. A live-in maid helped Roshani manage the children, making it easier for her to continue her office work.
A week later, Roshani received a call from her close friend, Nandhini, in Denver.
“Mum has to visit me too,” Nandhini insisted.
“Certainly, Nandhini. I’ll bring her next month,” Roshani promised.
That same day, Ramesh called to see the children and chat with everyone. The following month, Roshani, Vasanthy, and the twins visited Nandhini in Denver. Nandhini was thrilled to see them, fondly recalled old memories, and treated them to sweets and snacks. Her husband, Ram, warmly greeted them and couldn’t stop admiring the adorable twins.
During their week in Denver, they visited iconic spots like the Rocky Mountains, Royal Gorge, and the Denver Botanical Gardens. On the last day, Nandhini hosted a tea party for her friends. One of her friends looked at Vasanthy and exclaimed, “Oh! You're the blogger! I read your stories regularly—they’re amazing with such meaningful subjects.”
The other guests were equally delighted to discover that their friend’s mother was a well-known blogger. Vasanthy felt honored and a little surprised at the recognition.
After four joyous months in Boston and Denver, Vasanthy returned to her hometown, Bengaluru. Seeing Ramesh at the airport, she hugged him tightly. Although they had been in touch through video calls, nothing compared to being together in person.
Ramesh whispered, “Welcome back, my lovely blogger wife. Looks like you had a celebrity’s welcome in Denver.”
Vasanthy smiled and replied, “So now I’m a celebrity, huh?”
“To me, you always were,” Ramesh said warmly.
And in their 27 years of married life, Vasanthy had always felt his words to be more than just loving flattery—they were his genuine belief in her.
