Letter to Shreya on your 5th birthday

 



My doll,

Happy happy birthday. I will not spew the regular ‘time flies’ stuff. But soon enough you might be reading these letters, and I am not sure if I am happy about it. 

Who would have thought, 5 years back, that I would have this little creature interrogating me for everything? Who would have thought I would have to explain this tiny woman the reason for wearing new clothes? 

In this unusual year, we experienced more time together, more hugs and more relaxed routines. From online classes, to playing together, to our chitter-chatter, I spent more time with you, and experienced the most bizarre ‘hate you’ ‘I can’t live without you’ relation between you and Shivansh. I turn into a monster, referee, teacher, friend, hugger, child, and mom on the same day. 

Shreya, while you are a bright missy, but you are rigid. You want everyone to do as you wish, particularly Shivansh. As amusing as it might seem, but as you grow, I hope you become flexible, open, and more adaptable for your own good. 

I hope I can give you my eyes so that you see yourself as perfect and flawless. I wish you believe in yourself and dream big. As we grow, we somehow learn to distance from people who really matter. Never distance yourself from Shivansh, talk to each other, and always support each other, no matter what.

You will always be my forever love.
