I love calling you M.
No not because it sounds cool, but because this letter always reminds me of you. When you were born and we were asked to find a name for you starting with M..God only knows how much research I did. Not just internet but I also went to different book stores to find a good name. Ha ha and then we found MEDHANSH. I also love the fact that you are so proud of your name and its meaning...which is 'someone who is born intelligent'.
Another secret is even before you were born, we had thought to call you MANu +resHU = MANSHU a cute combination of your dad's and mine nick name. Serendipity is that too had M. So ya, this letter for me is always you.
M also signifies my beautiful journey of Motherhood which started with you.
Here is a small customary birthday poem which I write every year for you but you will only get to understand and read once you are 18 :)
So here we are all set to celebrate your big day,
Amidst these days which we won’t ever forget.
The times which we don’t ever want to come our way,
But still we take the learning from this for our best.
Another year gone by and I see you growing fast,
I wish, I could hold the time and enjoy your talks more.
My lovely boy may this charm of yours may ever last,
In my memories to relive them everyday as you enjoy your shore.
There is so much we did together this year,
Travelled places, made cookies & played games.
Every single day, I saw you figuring
out what is your dear,
Your endless stories about everything was anything but lame.
There were days when you would get upset for me being strict,
But I knew the way to make it again work between us.
It was never easy I can assure, but then I had to stick,
To what I felt will give you a life of self-fetched success.
Each day I feel more blessed of the fact that I have
you,
Though at times I wonder why your every statement starts with
‘Mama’.
But then no matter how it sounds, it definitely has a love clue,
You make me who I am today and for that I am up with all your
Drama.
We are so different from each other still have a lot of alike,
You dislike my favorite maths but love numbers and facts.
You enjoy quizzing me with data, which was never my stride,
How you love the mystery of maps which is so much beyond my acts.
So my dear son , today as you complete nine beautiful years,
And feel extremely happy to be a big boy with dreamy eyes.
Exuberant to create your own happy story without fears,
Ready for your special day with your happy gears.
I wish you happiness across the skies,
In leaps and bounds may you fly.
Every wish may make you even more wise,
And you my boy, may you always rise high.
A very Happy Birthday Medhansh
