We remember that night a year ago very vividly, when you came knocking at the door in the middle of the night. I guess you were ready to step into this world and move ahead, as you do so powerfully since that day.
It seems like yesterday that we brought you home from the hospital, and now you are our little man.
The kind of love you awakened in us took us by surprise. It’s not more or better than other love, only different. Different from the way daddy and mummy loves each other, different from the way we love our parents, brothers and sister and different from the way we love life. It has enriched our life.
And with that love comes a full range of other emotions. We experienced feelings of helplessness when you were in the light box because of your Jaundice, feelings of despair when you were crying relentlessly in the early months. Feelings of pity when you were in pain. Feelings of insecurity about all the new aspects of life that being a parent brings with it. They too have enriched our life. Since, You had brought us with so much laughter and joy and We are very proud to have you as our son.
Your being here has also deepened daddy's love for mummy. I can see her love for you and her devotion to be the best mom she can. It fills me with love and warmth to see you two together, playing together and sharing love and fun.
Know that we will be here for you on your path through this thing called life. You can count on us for being there when you need support in all its subtle appearances. A hand to help you when you attempt your first steps, a hand to catch you in case you might fall, attempting another audacious effort at something you don’t master (yet).
Keep on filling the pages of your book in your unique way, we will be reading along and helping you along the way.
Thank you for being your beautiful you. We love you.
Happy Birthday ............
Loves,
Daddy n Mummy
