Arnav is six years old today !! Happy birthday to dear, Arnav!
I cannot believe that my little Arnav would have been six years old today (actually yesterday- May 12). I was thinking to myself, 'Why do I want to update his blog, I'm not even sure if anyone reads it anymore; after all I don't update it anymore'.
And then, I log in today to find comments from two friends, one well known, one I've never know, yet Arnav brings us together. Once more, my special miracle has strenghtened my belief that there is goodness out there, you just need to have the eye for it.
Sarah: Thanks for thinking about Arnav and us.
Chitra: I am so moved by your words. Thank you.
Arnav seems to bring out the very best in me and helps me seek the same in others. Every now and then, when I am having a rough day, I ask him to guide me with his wisdom, grant me some of his patience, and his ability to see through the darkest days. And it works, each time! It's like he's right next to me and hears every word I say to him.
On your special day, my dear, I have so much to say, but cannot find the words to say that,
"You are near me,
I know that,
but you feel so far,
that it breaks my heart.
I come to see you everyday,
though it never seems enough,
But the day I miss seeing you,
that day is surely rough.
If I could lay the words side by side,
Of all the things I want to say to you,
I'm sure they'll stretch all the way up to heaven,
And right to you.
And you'll come flying in my arms,
Just like old times,
And we'll be together again,
Together forever, this time.
Missing you more than ever, my dear, Arnav. I hope you enjoyed your cake. Happy Boo to you!
I'll always be there for you.
