My special friend

She is a special child of God – my unique friend Padma (friendship of around 3 years).
My weekly visit to her house to spend some time with her has been infrequent for the past few months.  Though she does not know the date/days of the week, surprisingly, every Saturday, she eagerly waits for me and pesters her Mother to telephone to me.  The half hour that I spend with her gives her unbounded happiness which in turn gives me an immensely satisfied feeling.
Being spastic and with various health problems, very poor eye sight, severe speech impairment, and old parents, she does not have any qualms, worries, stress, etc., etc., (unlike us when we are many times unhappy for nothing) – ignorance is bliss.
