Lying in a ICU and in coma was

a loving wife and a doting mother.

Only one to attend to her now was her husband, a retired Air Force officer.

An ideal couple, they had spent their life’s savings to procure their two sons a good future.

Their sons had graduated with elan, making them proud

but had chosen to marry and settle abroad.

The visiting sons couldn’t spend time with her as they had to fly back for sure.

Even during their visits they were obliged to arrange for their family trips of leisure.

Unfortunately her aged husband was struck by cancer and passed away earlier.

The sons performed his cremation but expressed their helplessness in looking after her.

They flew back abroad leaving her in coma as she was now nothing more than a sleeping God.
