You wanted a partner-in-crime for life 💖

Dearest K,

You have always been such an affectionate and warm person, right from the time when you were little. Anyone could see how pure your soul is- without any malice. Even when small kids are fighting and fretting over small things, toys, clothes, theirs belongings, you would always be grinning and smiling, never being jealous of sharing your toys or anything that is very close to your heart. You would love to share and spread happiness with others. You would invite friends over and just let them have a gala time with every little thing that you had in your stock.

As a parent, its very hard to decide if having one child will be a little too less or having two would be a little too much. But me and your dad always wanted to have two children- someone to share a close bond with, someone to share all the life's joys and sorrows and seeing the kind of child you were- you just made that decision easy. We are so grateful and thankful for this bacha. '💕

Still, to be sure if that's what you would want and how you would acclimate to having a younger sibling- we would test you at different situations and in different scenarios and each time- you would just reassure in your own loving way that you would be nothing less than the best big brother to your younger one- and that made my heart swell with pride.

So, skipping the biology here- me and papa were blessed with a good news just around your second birthday - but something didn't go right this time.

I was at my gynae with you and your cousins, thinking it would be a routine check up- when the doc suddenly announced emergency and I was taken straight into surgery (I dint even get to go home and change and our car stood parked in her clinic for a few days, as papa had to rush back from his office as per the instructions of the doctor) . Apparently, I had an ectopic pregnancy and had to be operated before it could turn fatal - so I was like a living miracle to the interns at the hospital. Made me feel quiet special I tell you 😎.

This happened on 23rd March, I was admitted and operated on 24th March.

The doctor wanted me to be there for another day and discharge only on the 26th but how could I spend 25th away from you !!!

I had made a huge drama and made sure they discharge me on 25th itself , and it was to the point that the nurses must have had a sigh of relief letting me go .. hehe..

A Not-So-Happening Party

Due to this very reason, your 2nd birthday was a very low key affair- with your mum tied to a chair and even unable to take you in her lap- but am so grateful for papa and the entire family who came together and made you feel loved, cared and well looked after.

You anyways were just looking for gifts and that you had plenty 😉

The good news is always around the corner :)

"Prayers can be late but they are never unheard. If you get what you want- good, if you don't- even better, as God knows exactly what you need and when"

So, cut to June 2013, when I was finally happy that I get to start....sorry- restart my career again. I got the news right in my lap .. You were going to be a big brother soon !

And Finally- you got to hear what you had been waiting for so long !

I still remember the day we told you that you are going to be a big brother- you were overfilled with joy! You were happy but confused why he is going to take time to come home? Like, "Mom- just go and get him! What are you waiting for ??" . And when you started noticing my belly- you could not help but wonder - Why did I eat your brother? Yeah- You always used to say "Mera bhai aa raha hai". Even when we would try and prepare you that it can be either a boy or a girl- you would be adamant that it's going to be your brother.

This has to happen when you have genius for a child🙄

I had a pregnancy book by Johnson & Johnson which I read when you were on the way. Now, my only fault was that I dint hide it from you and one fine afternoon- you understood how your brother is getting developed in my tummy and what to expect EACH WEEK !! And this is you at 4 years old !!

So, while your papa was getting mad at me for not avoiding this "Accident" , I could not help but secretly admire just how smart you are.

Tomorrow- I do not know what you will grow up and become. But I do know 1 thing for sure- if you keep your beautiful soul safe from the world, believe in yourself and just look for true happiness- there is nothing in the whole world that can beat you. You are unbeatable, unstoppable and as I always say- 'Mera heera"

Your mom
