Dear
Kunju,
I have tried writing about you since the very first time I saw you all cuddled up in a white blanket, looking in awe at your very own family.But nothing I write could suffix the tornado of emotions I feel every time I see you trotting towards me with that characteristic glee of yours or the tiny smile well hidden in the curve of your lips as you sleep listening to the lullaby that mom sings.
So, here goes few things that I
had tried in vain to express in so many of the posts still safely hidden in the
draft folder of my blogs with the sole purpose as a self remainder on the
number of posts that are still waiting to be completed about the sweetest boy
who means the world to me :) . Someday I hope we would have some fun reading
these together ;)
* I want you to know that you have changed our lives in so many beautiful ways that we could never have imagined.
* Your first smile, the first time
I held you, the first time I put you to sleep, the first time you started to
crawl,the first time I heard your laughter , the first time you stood up
shakily on your feet , the first time you called me "ammi" (well,
coming from you even that sounded sweet :D ) and to many more firsts -
thank you for all those special moments you have given us.
* How ever old you may grow, whenever i see you, I would always see that tiny figure who curled his small pink fingers around mine the very first time I touched him, accepting me in an instant :)
* You remind me how futile the noise and things I thought I would need to be happy are ; to have you cuddled up near me is an absolute bliss :)
* You are my favorite alarm and
it's awesomely cute when you try to climb up my bed every morning trying to
sleep next to me.
* With you, I never have to speak the smartest of things or care about the way I look because you have never loved me a bit less even when i looked my worst, struggling with flu - my voice a mere crackle. I could never forget the way you insisted on being brought near me :)
* No sugar can make my tea sweeter than the way you do when you demand your sip from it and pay for it with that million dollar smile of yours.
* I want you to know how privileged you make me feel when you blindly trust me and squeal with happiness when I toss you playfully around without a hint of doubt.
* You make me fall short of words and remind me that the deepest of feelings can never be adorned in all justice with bare words.
* I love you :)
As time flies by, there would be many people who would come to my life and yours too. You would grow up and move on to make your mark in the world, but I want you to know that you made me feel special as no one ever had and dad finally has a competition with your arrival ;)
Love,
Achol :)
