Since the point I dreamt of being Mum, I had You, in my Mind. From the time I was expecting, I had You in my Heart. Ever since you were born and now that you turn one, you have become My Whole Wide World ! You'd so believe my desire to have a girl, when you read the post dated August 7th 2008 on this blog on which Neha Aatya commented ! :)
Even though today, you turn a year old, for me you are a year and 9 months more, cause that is how long I know you and to your each passing year, those 9 special months will never be forgotten ! Your Dad n Me, were the one's to hear your heartbeat, even before seeing you in person ! Experiencing life within you, even before it takes birth, is an indescribable feeling which I am glad even you will luckily have an opportunity to understand and experience !
When we thought of you, before you were born, we always thought of a GIRL with long eyelashes, big eyes, dimpled smile, chubby cheeks and yes, a chubbier bottom :) and you were born with all that and even more - your chubby thighs which we love calling Chicken Wings :)
As Lata Aajji rightly says, you look 70% like Daddy (with dark shapely eyebrows, long thick lashes, dimpled smile) and 30% like Mommy (big eyes, chubby cheeks) ! :) While the color of your eyes resembles Baba Ajoba's, the color of your skin resembles Daddy Ajoba's and Kalpana Aajji says you get your voice from her - loud and clear :) your habit of being happy sitting at one place is what you adopt from Lata Aajji :) and I certainly hope that a spirit to fight all odds and emerge victorious is what Anant Mama will inspire in you!
Like all the other babies in the world, You too are an adorable baby ! :) We are the ones who gave you your name and you would be the one to redefine our identity - to make us proud for the kind of human being you will grow up to be ! Like all other parents in this world, I am completely clueless about who you will grow up to be, or what you will choose to do with your life. God Forbid - On our Journey together, if I were ever to be seperated from You, I would want you to always remember ...
"There will always be 10 people more successful, powerful, affluent, wealthy, luckier than you - at the same time there will be 10 others who would be less fortunate or less-abled than you : Do not ever let anyone else's successes/failures be the yardstick for your own accomplishment. Understand the importance of good relationships, the value of time, the worth of being healthy - chances are that you will have the true satisfaction of a Life Well Spent ! Enjoy the Journey, Make the most out of each phase in Life so that when you look back, you Smile and Thank God for what he Gave U !" :)
I will always Love You to Eternity more than anything and anyone else in this World !
Happy Birthday My Love and Bless U always ! :)
Cuddles, Hugs & Kisses
- Mumma ! :)
