Happy birthday Alan

 

Dear Diary,

This time, exactly 19 years ago I had received a best belated gift from the stork.  Like today, he was delivered while everybody were celebrating Deepavali.  How awesome!!  

He was our first baby and the first grandkid in my family side.  Gosh! I was on top of the world when I came to know that I was expecting.  Even though my pregnancy was smooth sailing, I was a bit down coz his dad was stationed across the world for two years. Thankfully, i have my family for moral support.  

He was supposed to be delivered on 21 November, instead he decided to see the world one week earlier that expected. After more than 12 hours of contractions pain, he finally arrived at 2.20 pm. When I heard him cry and held him in my arms, I totally forgot about my aches and pains.  

Dear my sweet Alan,

How the years go by,
How time can certainly fly,
From once just a thought in faraway dreams,
now into my arms and in my eyes gleam the presence of you,
Your laughter and smiles which go on for miles,
You are growing up so fast,
as I wish us moment to last forever.

You are someday be a man,
and right by your side I will forever stand.
I will pick up the pieces when you fall,
I will hold your hand and help you stand  tall.
And when the day comes when you are on your own,
never feel that you are alone.
No matter how near or far apart,
I am always right there in your heart.
Before I held in my arms, I cradled in my heart.  
 Always remember whatever you go through,
that no matter what, I will always love you. 

Before I held in my arms, I cradled you in my heart.....................

Signed off for now
