Answers
You can say how unreal it felt to have 3 different generations to be sitting in one room, with a different experience of life in different time periods and yet they are all related by blood and retain few similar characteristics of their own.
As your grandmother cuts the cake, she is overwhelmed by the love and support of her family and later, she talks about her dreams, her success, her wishes and how glad she is to have a family who looks after her and her well-being.
The Greatest Surprise
There was a joint family of six members including grandparents. It was the 75th birthday of the grandmother and the family planned to celebrate her birthday. The family was serious for a grand celebration this time. The day before, they made their decision and plannings finalised and went to sleep. The grandchildren, John and Stella were very excited.
The day of her birthday has come. The grandmother never expected what she saw on waking up. She saw all the five other members looking at her and waiting for her to wake up. She was a bit sure, something worse has happened. She woke up. Then she was delighted to hear "Happy birthday!!" from them. She couldn't believe it all. She never had such a morning in her life. Everyone enjoyed that morning and they enjoyed a cake-cutting at the same time.
For the sake of the grandmother, the family prepared for a trip to Shirdi according to their plan. The grandmother said, it was the biggest gift she had ever received in her life. Her dream was to visit Shirdi once in her life and her dream was coming to reality. They all enjoyed their trip in a mini-bus. They played music, played games and the children were just jumping with a huge excitement. The grandparents were pleasured to see their children enjoying. Finally, after 6 hours, they reached at Shirdi. The grandmother had a good vision of God and was delighted. While returning, the family had its dinner in a famous restaurant. The grandmother blessed her family and prayed God for a long life to her children and grandchildren.
It was a happy ending!
