They help to create hope, bring positivity and desire to live.
When Dad was in hospital, I stayed with him round the clock, telling him all positive things, boosting his moral. But at times I felt he needed more inspiration and that is why I called upon the lady and the kid to come to hospital and spend time with him. And it brought a big difference - couple of hours with them over a cup of tea drove his desire to come back to home and I kind of utilized that moment to remind him to get well soon and come out of hospital.
As Mom was staying alone at home, she talked to him over video calls on a daily basis, thanks to technology which provides means to connect during these times. She wanted to come and stay for some time in hospital but then I did not feel it was right as it could further complicate the situation if she falls sick.
And I must proudly say that I have a very good friend circle who after hearing the news of he coming back to home, came to meet him and encouraged with all positive vibes.
They are very close friends for more than three decades and often used to come to home when we were in twenties. Back then no permission was needed - people from our gen X still have that habit - we still go without any information or seeking permission, and they exactly did that. Dad knows them personally and spending some time with them further helped him gain confidence. Back in college times, my friends would often eat at a particular stall and request Dad to pay and Dad would never disappoint them - he was very friendly with my friends and even won't listen to me.
These are the moments which reminds us why we need family and close friends - they bring positive energy during these moments and nothing else can fill that place. At times I wonder about the future and our kids - they don't have very close friends and mostly end up with virtual engagements that barely can fill the emotional aspects of life. So they will need a much better family life, but that trend also does not look very promising. How would they deal with such difficult times ?

Simply loves the vibes...these support and understanding are only part in this part....when I was Delhi, never seen such things...most of the people were in rush and if they ever came over to meet, it was just for the formality...pretty strange how humanity is changing.
Great to see your friends visiting him. Yes we were the same with our parents, we would all know each others parents. Does Dad always sit crosslegged like that?
Yes, mostly.
That is pretty cool and shows he is still flexible.
Yup@ :) good ole friends..
I am glad my daughter has a good 'friend' :P (now her roommate/partner) we'll see how long they stay together..
My son's best friend??
Unfortunately, our kids don't have good human connections.
true. but they will have these..
Absolutely! Better family ties and better friends always make us feel better about ourselves. There are few things that make us feel as good as knowing they will be there for us even in the worst situations, right?
Yes, they are available 24/7, anytime, anywhere.
i love the way you write english, it feels so real and so easy to connect.
your parents are very lucky to have you znd for your kids they will go along the futur.
Family and friends truly are precious @sanjeevm! One can see the difference in your Dad's whole posture. It's so important to know people still care, especially the ones you love.
I was telling someone the other day how nice it is to get a surprise visitor. It's quite sad that life has become so busy and focused on social media, that we kind of feel we need to 'make an appointment', what will happen to the next generations who are missing out on that.
Good recovery for your Dad🙏
That was the best to do to give more positive thoughts and inspiration to whoever is sick. Healing starts on the mind so it is a must that the patient thinks positive.
Sincerely if you lose every relationship in life, please don't lose your family and your true friends because they are the shoulders you can rely on in days of adversity.
Some modern technologies allow us to stay connected with loved ones even from the hospital. Today's children rarely see good social connections. In that sense, it's a good thing that your father still has a group of good friends.
In those moments, let's say when our health is not the best, family and friends are always the ideal support to get out of that difficulty.
One big family. Having your family and friends create that warmth within. Love bonds of togetherness and in oneness brings happiness.
Good friends are as important as family. They support you in many ways. They supported you during your father's illness. Having only good family or friends would be incomplete. Both are essential.
That energy is what we need in those difficult times. Only those of us who have been in a hospital with a sick relative know how complicated it is and how important a word of encouragement is.
Sometimes the best medicine isn’t found in hospitals, but in the warmth of family, old friends, and shared moments of genuine care.
You really handled it with so much care, that’s admirable. It’s touching how you supported your dad and also looked out for your mom.
We always need family and friends in those moments when we go through health problems, because they motivate us to improve and also make us feel that we are an important part of their lives. This helps a lot, and especially emotionally, it gives us enough energy to get up and be together again.
That's true. Too bad during the difficult days with my mother struggling for his life, only few of my friends are really boosting my morale.
You really have great friends! Your family is also supportive.
There were days in my life that I have actually been so down and trust me, the only thing that lift me out were my family. Familes are gold

I love how we used to call over unannounced. I don't know how we got in the habit of calling or texting first.
The kids will be alright. They'll seek out friendships , vintage style, especially at uni and as they get older. Teenagers are more difficult.
