I have been waiting for you Ananyaa all these days and you came into our Life. How and what do I tell you, my Princess …. Feeling proud has become a habit now….When you were born. I loved holding your little fingers, I love running my hand over those soft creases on your hands and legs. Yes I cried lot when Doctor gave you first Immunization shot. I loved to fight with your dad as everyone was saying that you looks like him and he use to take all credit, but happy as well while watching you both playing together. I love calling you by various names – “Rolly Polly”, Softy Sweety”, “Chinky Pinky”, “Chingu, Pingu Mingu”, “Cutie Sweety” and “Kuku Baku”, “Champa Chameli” your momma wants to tell you so many things. She just doesn’t know where to begin.
My little Gril, there is so much to see in this world and so much to enjoy in life. Trust me, one lifetime isn’t enough! You know what all we can do – so many things. I will just offer you a glimpse of the world we can create for ourselves. These are flights of fantasy that I am making, with the wings of my imagination. Very soon, this will be reality, for, you are the key. It was very tough for your mum to adjest at home after your Granny left back to India, but somehow I managed it. As far so, you are crawling now and listening mumma singing nursery rhymes & lorries for you, trying to stand-up by holding each things at home. As you start to toddle, I will share your pride, I will offer you a hug when you walk into me. And soon, we will hold hands and walk together. We will rub noses, share surprise hugs, and exchange tender kisses on our cheeks. We will play little games that youwill always win. We will recite nursery rhymes together, when we eat, when we lie down on the bed and whenever we seem to find the time; I will seat you on my lap and we will check out the big story book that Daddy has got for you.
And then, we will fly bright, chirpy kites that kiss the blue sky and speak to the sun. We will colour our lives with your red and my green and their many shades. We will discover give positive thoughts to our mind. We will laugh our hearts out over the silliest of jokes. We will pillow-fight. We will tease your Daddy about his snoring. I am sure there will be times when you guys will gang up together and tease me as well
For now, I will get going with what I have to share. When you get a little bigger, we will read out favourite passages from the books we read. We will grab sunshine with our hands; we will dance in the rain and walk together on a moonlit night. We will star gaze on a clear night and go for a quiet jog on a pleasant morning. We will also play in snow & make snowman by Christmas time. Let’s admit it. We will have our share of petty fights, and then apologize and embrace each other, only getting closer each time.
What’s more, we will exchange a secret sparkle between our eyes when you get your Boyfriend home. My Girl, I am here to watch you grow and I will stay by your side, through the toughs of your life, no matter how old you are. I will walk down with you as long as my legs can carry on .
You have come into my world and given it an altogether new meaning. And what do I have but my love and a promise to give in return? I want to make each day of your life special, in some little way and make you feel that this life is truly worth living and that, is this mom’s promise to you.
As I say all this, how much of it do you understand, I wonder! You look at me and give me that innocent smile that melts me to nothingness. You will, my dear, you will very soon understand – the many dreams and a promise of a proud mother. I Love You Kuku.
Note I am Writing all this and more as I want to read this again & again, after years & years & remember my feeling forever…..
