Cataract surgery was done on my right eye on a certain day and as the doctor advised, it was a game of an hour. I didn't think it necessary to inform all my friends about it. Then I had been advised rest for 15 days, and to keep away from mobile, TV and fire. I found it uncomfortable to use the mobile and hence my routine of "good morning" to my friends skipped that day and on some subsequent days.
My thinking was that nobody would be caring for my good morning wishes if I missed it for one day. But no, I was wrong. My true friend was anxious to know the reason why I skipped the routine. Whether I was okay or not. I had been asked to be in contact regularly without shooting up one's blood pressure.
So friends, be in touch with your friends and family always, who knows, whether you reside in their minds or hearts. A little bit of silence of yours may force them to think negatively about you, especially when you are a senior citizen.
