I wrote this last year when my granddaughters came for a holiday with their parents, and left.
This year my other grandchildren came and stayed, and left a couple of days ago.
Deja vu.
No screams
No tears.
No shouts,
No laughs.
No giggles,
No joy.
Granddaughters have left,
How empty is the nest

I know the feeling..
Wonderfully expressed . So much thought in so few words.
Such is the nature of a 20th Century family. In every other Indian/Asian family, you have members staying away from you - in another town or another country. And, on rare occasions when we have them all together, under the same roof, it's time for celebrations.
Very touching and heartfelt... A true granny's lament...
This is so touching......my mom and mom-in-law must be feeling like this whenever our short visits to India end.....
Its a beautiful post!!
