The fees has gone up by 25% and has now reached AED 950 /- per month. This for a 3 year old spending 3 hours in a play class.
He still talks about appappa, talks about the funeral, about being buried. He stills dreams of it all. He has spent very little time with his grandfather, no more than 2 weeks each year we go on vacation. May be a total of 2 months in all, but he loved appappa in his own way. Earlier this year when he stayed at home, he used to spend all his time with appappa, eating what appappa ate, drinking what he drank. They had bonded well. He even coughed when appappa did. He once told me that it is good that his other grandchildren have gone back, as it gave him a chance to get to know this one. He always said how soft spoken and gentle T was unlike the other two more vigorous and energetic grandsons. Once during a thunderstorm I found T near appappa’s bed hugging him tightly saying he was scared of thunder. It was a beautiful sight.
