While sitting on the bed, I was having a “Late-night confession with my boy”
I could see the big eyes glittering through the glow of lamp light. He was supposed to be in a deep sleep after having had his tummy full of milk. Opening and closing his big, wide eyes, he was looking at me.
Holding and kissing forehead and sweet little cheeks, I thought you had a long way to go. With many milestones ahead, my heart was about to explode with thousands of thoughts. “You are passing a magical phase of life, sweetheart,“ I murmured.
“I will not smile each moment, but I will keep going, sweetheart! I know it goes too fast, but I cherish your giggly and smiley childhood. Quality time with you makes me speechless and takes me into a different world. “
“Your papa made everything easy for Mama, sweetheart, the biggest supporter behind the curtain.”
I might not understand you in certain cases when you get older, but I am experiencing and learning from you. I would have long conversations with you.
Let’s carve out solo time together. I am waiting!! It’s a little road trip, perhaps. We can listen to audiobooks (we both love), and I am dreaming of going to Sri Lanka with you and Papa. We can try authentic Sri Lankan foods together.
We can hold mini parties at the courtyard at evening too.
We will have common topics to share! Would you love to talk about world history and the evolution of man as a species? and also, we can have TV Fridays and movie nights with a bucket full of popcorn in front of the TV. Papa is designing a long list of books for you to read. We both are selecting books from here for you darling!!
I am always trying to connect with your life, good or bad Mama and Papa always with you.
Loving Mama!!
