A Distant Relative But a Greater Human Being

,

Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.

This is in 2009 when I had to have surgery because of certain health conditions. At those times the surgery amount was in lakhs and even though my parents were earning, the amount was quite larger than what they had saved for years.

Dad somehow arranged the money by hook or crook , surgery was successful and then came as a surprise to my dads bank account. It was the same amount back into the account. Dad wondered who did this!! Then comes a call from my distant relative of mothers family. He said : This is for my cute tiny little rachana. Not expecting anything in return.

Background to the story, he used to send greeting cards every new year with the message to me and brother as tiny little kids even though we were all grown up. My mother and him grew up together in the same house so those both were close cousins( sorry I am bad in the family tree explanation!!). Every time I wondered why he had so much concern with our family.

But the time when had sent money to my father, that day he became a favourite for me. Even though we never talked , I will always have good feeling when I think of this relative.

In this selfish world , if there is even one selfless guy who gives money out of respect and nothing is expected in return then you are lucky !!
