ANOTHER BIRTHDAY NOTE
Our nephew had his birthday recently, even though he stays far away from us we are excited about his birthday. Every year it is the same story, we wait to catch a glimpses of his smiling face. As children grow up, they start recognizing everyone through face. We don’t have the privilege to meet him since the pandemic. We are dependent on the internet to see him grow up. So, on his birthday I wrote a small piece, here it goes:
It felt like yesterday he came to be with us, here!
We wait to talk to him over weekends
We wait to catch a glimpse of him running around
We wait for him to smile at the screen
We tease him
We play his video multiple times
We zoom his pictures to kiss him
It felt like yesterday he came to be with us, here!
We are adjusting to his accent, maybe he is adjusting to ours
We are waiting for him to be here, maybe he is waiting for us to be there
We are waiting to kiss him, maybe he is waiting to hug us
We are waiting to tease him, maybe he is waiting to fight with us
Above all we are waiting to love him unconditionally
It’s not a poem or a prose, it is just a flood of words during an emotional breakdown. I hope he would grow up and read this blog some day.
