Thanks to all my friends - some known and some unknown - for all their wishes. It has been more than 3 months since my life was awashed with Divine light! And Mia turned 9 months yesterday! She can now sit on her own, has two tiny teeth shooting out from her lower gum, stands straight with support, babbles all day "Babba", "Mamma", "Dadda" and "Tatta", not in that same order of discovery though! She has also been going to day care which is there in my workplace and has now learnt to socialise with other babies and play and smile and then tremble with joy when we go to pick her up at the end of the day! Now she lies fast asleep next to me, after her tiring day in school! What bliss! May God bless us like this always and all you parents out there know exactly what I am talking about!

 

As a child due to various dysfunctions in my family, I learnt to stay aloof from emotional complications and the so called Maya of family life. I grew up to detach myself emotionally from relationships and my life! Everything was approached with clinical efficiency but no not a tug of my heart could be pulled by others! Inside this sterile hospital, lay a Burns ward! A patient scarred by tribulations, numb to any more pain and scared to feel it again! Content in the white walls of unreal reality! The doors were opened for the first time when I met Chandreyee, my love and my soulmate. She held my hands and brought me out into the real world and healed many of my scars! New layers of skin buried the pain of the past...with her love , new and fresh with life!

 

Mia's home coming has been the next big transformational experience of my life. I never knew I had this depth of feelings and love for a body so tiny and yet a soul so large! Is it more special because she has been a gift not produced in the natural course of a mechanical life but a special parcel dropped in our laps by God himself? I do not know! I know that every twinkle in her eye reflects the trust she has in us, every knowing smile shows the love she feels but not knows! Every breath of hers on my arms a reassurance of the eternal bond we share. This is a divine feeling, almost like putting my self in God's shoes when He created us! Looked at us with a smile and a glint of a teardrop, amazed and behumbled by His own creation. This is a Godly feeling! And never has anyone with such tiny fingers, a tongue that cannot speak and a form so delicate ever pulled the threads of my heart so strongly, and made an impression on my whole spirit more deeply!

 

She has just woken up and wants to play...so I end here! In deepest of gratitude to God for this wonderful Life!
