This is a candid photo of my son and my daughter.  I love this photo, taken by me when we went for our vacation in Goa.

My kids have an age difference of 5 years.  They, like all the other siblings, fight with each other, tease each other, sometimes don’t talk for hours with each other.  Sometimes I am worried that in a small family like ours their bond shouldn’t weaken.  With a very limited extended family, ultimately it will be only the two of them after we are gone.

We were taking a stroll in the evening sun of Goa when both the kids were chatting and they went ahead of us.  My daughter had put a protective arm around her elder brother and I couldn’t stop myself from capturing this beautiful moment.

These siblings..not just share everything with each other, most importantly they share genes too.  I hope and pray that this  bond remains strong forever.
