Happy Birthday Son! You turned 13 today.
I can't believe that, you are no longer a baby boy, but you are not a
big man yet.You may have officially become a teenager today but you will still
remain a kid for the next five years
I am once again writing here, about you and Our Journey of
13 years. From Past couple of years I was living outside India and I am happy
to be here this year. But your exams are on and we are not able to celebrate it
the way I wished. I wonder when you will grow up, will you look back and say
you had a great childhood, am I able to provide all that you expected.
I am not perfect and now when I look back, i wish i could
have spent more time with you. I wish I was more patient I wish I did not
yell at you so much. I really wish I could take back all those moments I
was stressed with Life or with work, or situations around us. All those moments
we spent together though, the bad, the good and the difficulty, have shaped
you, made you an independent person, and so much more mature than I ever
was at your age. I am sure you will understand why I tell you
“No” from time to time about certain things because it is best for you
will not know what I am talking now and why things were the way they were.
I hope someday you will surely understand that what you say
is important to me, and I really do care and love you. I care about you more
than anybody and will always be your biggest friend and most ardent
supporter.
I must say, you are the sweetest Kid any mom can have, who
understand the limitation and adjust with the situation. I am sure this quality
of yours I s going to take you far ahead… We all seek best of everything, but
due to some reason if we don’t get it, we must learn to accept the reality and
facts and keep moving positively with whatever situation life throws you in to.
I am glad you understand that as a kid, when its least expected.
I am Happy and Fearful at the same time about your Journey
here onward towards adulthood. These are formative years.
Every decision you will take on this juncture will be very
crucial and has a consequence which will not only impact your today but will
impact your Future too for the rest of your life. May God be with you and
know I will always be at arm’s length in case you need me.
I want to take this opportunity to tell you, how life is
going to be here onward, you are entering in to second phase of life, you will
have yours ups and down, mistakes you will make, problems you will face, What
to look forward too, and what you should be careful about. I am sure you will
pass, and will learn from your mistakes and will keep moving.
