Its more than ten days now since I fallen ill bloody scars of the chicken pox is still there on my face making me look what I am not. Mom says use coconut water twice a day and it will disappear, I did so though I found it to be quite a task. Got some information on the internet about scar treatment and have been using aloe vera gel since.
Ridhima has not been looking good since last couple of days and we all have been worried. She coughs aloud and had some fever also yesterday. I got her the prescribed cough syrup so that she could sleep peacefully. It was 11.20 PM last night when we were all winding up our day to go to bed Rinku called me to see something, I rushed in and saw a tiny blister on her little palm. It was a shocker. Its more than a week now how could she get the contamination now. We all have been making sure that she doesn't get it but...
It is not yet confirmed she does not have any fever in the morning today and we are keeping our fingers crossed for my little one. Chicken Pox please go away!

I came across a letter by Harry Browne to written to his daughter. It just touched my heart. If you want to have a look:
“Harry’s letter to his daughter:
If I could give you just one thing, I’d want it to be a simple truth that took me many years to learn. If you learn it now, it may enrich your life in hundreds of ways. And it may prevent you from facing many problems that have hurt people who have never learned it.
The truth is simply this: No one owes you anything.
Significance
How could such a simple statement be important? It may not seem so, but understanding it can bless your entire life.
No one owes you anything.
It means that no one else is living for you, my child. Because no one is you. Each person is living for himself; his own happiness is all he can ever personally feel.
When you realize that no one owes you happiness or anything else, you’ll be freed from expecting what isn’t likely to be.
It means no one has to love you. If someone loves you, it’s because there’s something special about you that gives him happiness. Find out what that something special is and try to make it stronger in you, so that you’ll be loved even more.
When people do things for you, it’s because they want to — because you, in some way, give them something meaningful that makes them want to please you, not because anyone owes you anything.
No one has to like you. If your friends want to be with you, it’s not out of duty. Find out what makes others happy so they’ll want to be near you.
No one has to respect you. Some people may even be unkind to you. But once you realize that people don’t have to be good to you, and may not be good to you, you’ll learn to avoid those who would harm you. For you don’t owe them anything either.
Living your Life
No one owes you anything.
You owe it to yourself to be the best person possible. Because if you are, others will want to be with you, want to provide you with the things you want in exchange for what you’re giving to them.
Some people will choose not to be with you for reasons that have nothing to do with you. When that happens, look elsewhere for the relationships you want. Don’t make someone else’s problem your problem.
Once you learn that you must earn the love and respect of others, you’ll never expect the impossible and you won’t be disappointed. Others don’t have to share their property with you, nor their feelings or thoughts.
If they do, it’s because you’ve earned these things. And you have every reason to be proud of the love you receive, your friends’ respect, the property you’ve earned. But don’t ever take them for granted. If you do, you could lose them. They’re not yours by right; you must always earn them.
―Harry Browne
