Before it struck 12, I am writing a thank you note to dear Atharv.
Dear Atharv,
Today on my birthday you treated me like a princess. You woke up before me and planted a sweet kiss on my cheek and wished me Happy Birthday. When you came back from school at 1.15, you asked for Gulab Jamuns that I had prepared for us. I had made your favorite food on my birthday. You enjoyed the meal. As I was planning to rest after lunch, you asked me for a huge card paper and asked to folded it and stick it. Then you asked me to go in the bedroom and not come out in the hall. I was reading a book and after 20 minutes you came to the room and asked me to close my eyes. When I opened my eyes there was this beautiful card that you made for me. I was so touched and surprised to see how awesome that card was, That was one of your best creations. I checked with you and posted it on Facebook,
In the evening you wanted me to wear a long dress just like how princesses wear, so I wore a long gown. When your daddy was generally asking me something you told him,"what are you doing daddy talk to mom nicely, be nice to her, its her birthday today and you kept repeating that." Your daddy kept teasing you whole evening but obviously you were too small to understand his jokes.
You are a fine boy Atharv, I hope you will always take care of yourself and our family.
Like Sensei says; Be courageous, strong and free.
Thanks for all the love my son. We love you so much.
With loads of love.
Mumma
