Most Happiest Moments In Life | Harison Xavier

There are always good and bad times. My goal for the past three to four years was to be happy all the time, no matter what. I developed this skill to cope up with loneliness about three years ago. My key research was how to find happiness at any given moment, and one of the few things to do when I feel lonely or sad are walking early morning, pet a street dog, take a deep breath and meditate,  looking into cool photographs like the one above. I don't know why, but looking at pictures like these makes me every happy. In addition to this I found one more, this is more effective than all above that I have mentioned.

                 As I was discovering life, going through my own way, I was given an opportunity to visit an orphanage for differently abled kids. For security reasons, I will not be able to give out their names at this moment. The home is very far away from where I work. So I applied for a leave for 2 weeks, booked my tickets and started preparing for the the journey. 

My mom was already there with my sister, they are volunteering for the family too. From what mom told me about the place I got so excited and can't wait to meet them.

Three Children Sitting On Stairs

I reached, just a few days before Good Friday. It was late night. They were waiting for me at the airport. I was so happy to see my aunt after almost 20 years. She still looks the same. I was so happy  to see a few kids with them in the car. I greeted them, and they greeted back with great enthusiasm. 

I felt so positive and welcomed, by the time I reached their home, it was every late and most of the kids have went to sleep. I had my dinner with them. Few kids who have not went to bed yet are staring at me as if I am an alien. I was given a special room near to the home and I had a very good night sleep.

Day One  

The next morning I woke up early, got dressed and got out of the room to meet the kids. They were shy to meet me and even I was shy to meet them. Few said "Hi" to me, few ran away after seeing me.

The day before, mom have briefed me that we will have a lot of work to do. As Easter is close by we will need to help them, from cooking to events they are going to conduct. I was ready to do anything, I didn't know why, but I got this sudden insane energy in me to help this family.

Mom

Me, my mom and my sister had our breakfast and went out to meet the kids. My mom and sister are already a big part of the family. The kids love them, My mom cooks special snacks for the kids and they love it. 

My mom was different here, she was very happy and was smiling all the time. I never seen my mom this happy before. She loved the kids. When I see her spending time with the kids, I saw how beautiful she is and how lucky am I to be her son. Mom is really an angel send from heaven. I am so blessed. I don't have enough words to describe how I felt. Felt like all her sadness in life have gone away. Of course, I felt jealous too, that's my mom, all her love belongs to me. hahahaha.

I love her so much and I don't know how to express it or say thank you. 

Mom, I love you, thank you for making me the man I am today, thank you for the everything. 


Children

I always loved children, but never got much opportunity to spend time with them. I was always busy working. 
I don't know what happened to me. The moment I was with the kids, I became very energetic, I started cracking jokes (which I rarely do), dancing for them, singing songs, piggyback, tossing kids up. God, I was unstoppable. I was energetic all day long. I didn't stop. 

Group of People Taking Photo

I helped mom in the kitchen. We were preparing Biriyani for Easter. I am so impressed of myself, to boost this to the another level, the mother of this home Sister Anne, appreciated me for spending time with them and helping mom. They were all impressed. 

At night time prayers, I thanked God for this new superpower, I was a hero here. I still can't understand how I became an extrovert. 
I was a natural entertainer. I was acting like my teenage days. 
I loved it all the way. Everyone wanted to spend time with me. 

Why did this happen? Why am I so energetic? Normally I get exhausted within a few hours spending time with people. All I wanted was to be alone and get recharged but now it's different. I wanted to spend more time with them, play with them. 

Love

It was all love, the love I got from mom, the love I got from these kids, the love and care I got from the mother of this family. 
I was never loved by anyone like this before, and it was addictive.
I wanted more and more. That's the reason I was so energetic. The more active I am, the more the kids love me.

Kind of selfish, still everyone is happy. I went there for helping them out for a while, in return I was showered with love and care. 
I felt so young. This is what my retirement should be, spending time with kids, taking good care of them, playing with them just like this.  

Family should be the most important thing in life. It should be given primary preference above all. I felt like almost crying because of all the love I got. I went there to help and I got helped.
