I feel emotional today and there are plenty of reasons to be. I felt compelled to pen down a few lines. Today is your first birthday! The joys and challenges of parenting is something we had heard about all the time but had never fully experienced until we became parents. We have had our challenges but the joy of raising you totally outweighed all the challenges so far.
I still remember the night in the emergency ward where we thought we had lost you! Even the doctors thought we had lost you. But then, the next day, you miraculously appeared with your beating heart on the scan. You took our breath away. We will forever be indebted to almighty Sai for this amazing gift.
I never thought I had natural paternal capabilities. I never thought I could ever change nappies, feed, bath or could put a child to sleep. I look back at the year and feel amazed to see how god has gifted humans with this unique ability to adapt to a change.
Jhingu, you have brought us so much joy that I cannot put into words. You have taught me how to set my priorities right. You have taught me how to manage my time effectively. You have taught me how to smile and laugh on seemingly most trivial situations and events! I donโt smile enough but since you arrived, I have smiled and laughed more than I ever did in my entire life. You have changed my โbullshitโ tolerance level. You have taught me how to live in present without past regret and future despair.
We love your amusing expressions, infectious laughter and untainted innocence. I and your mum wish you nothing but the best and will try our best to mould you into a good human being.
I cannot wait to experience the world all over again โ but through your eyes this time around!
Love you.
