Very often, we feel
complacent about what is going on in our lives. Then suddenly something will
come to shake us out of our reverie and we are forced to stop and ponder about
the twists and turns in life’s story. Here are some incidents about the ironies
in the lives of different people who will remain anonymous but be named in
alphabetical order.
A was given away for adoption
a year after she was born. She never ventured to ask about the whys and
wherefores as she felt that there was no need to. What was done could not be
undone. Besides it was all for the better as she was brought up in a loving
home and eventually felt that she had learnt to be more caring and
compassionate than if she had been in her original biological home. Both her
biological father and her adopted father had passed away. Her adopted mother
was in a nursing home as she needed round the clock medical attention.
Suddenly, out of the blue, her biological mother asked her one day if she could
come and live with her. Hello? Didn’t you give her away at birth?
