Wednesday it was. Way back in 2003. The day I lost my first of the two most prized possessions whom I had acquired in my early teen life.-Misha. A day never to be forgotten- EVER. Heartbroken,shattered,sobbing I went into an inexplicable spell;sorrow mixed with nostalgia when my parents & bhai called me up early in the morning to let me know that my Misha,my baby had passed away peacefully.
16 years of all our love was not enough to hold him back forever. I remember feeling shattered,my tears flowing incessantly down my cheeks.The unbearable pain felt very heavy-almost numbing me outright. But that day was not just about this immense cloud of sadness engulfing our minds and souls. As someone rightly said β When one door closes – another opensβ-and we as a family experienced just this on that fateful day.
In the evening, my doctor called to congratulate me on my first pregnancy. From that moment until this very day,a thought that got a permanent place in my mind ,was that Misha who was essentially MY OWN child didnot quite leave me – ever – rather came back to fulfil our lives -to bless our wedlock as my firstborn – my son- Tπππ.
On a cold wintery night,past midnight that November-Again a Wednesday . 19th November 2003 at 2.00 AM after a lot of coaxing, entered our child in this wide world .
The tired new mother that I was – after three hours of the final pushing phase looked up to take a peek at my own creation- and what did I see? Yes!! EXACTLY what I had dreamt of! what I had wished of! What the two of us had yearned for.β€οΈ A healthy 8 pound baby with the sweetest possible face.
Thus started the journey of this marshmallow to metamorphose to a tall handsome hunk.Wrapped snuggly inside a bili blanket to fight infantile jaundice came this tiny T to his home with Baba and mamma π€. Rolled by the calendar- days into weeks- weeks to months-and months gave into years.
Years of adding on new experiences,acquiring new skills,learning new facades,gaining the title of elder brother and slowly & steadily stepping into different milestones.
How this curious onlooker as an infant used to possibly swallow anything &everything -even tiny pebbles- throwing me & the dad and my cousin into frenzied couple of hours !! How quickly did this baby boy grow to an active toddler and then by the usual course of time started winning the hearts of everybody around – just amazed me!
I often found myself entrapped in my own web of memories.Reminiscing over the cutest stories of Tβs daycare days to every details of highlights of middle school transitioning to the high school. How much of an emotional wreck was I during his Kindergarten graduation π©βππ€, walking up to the dias in the cutest possible way in that regalia!
The happy memories of the replacement of innumerable number of Hotwheel cars,Bob the Builder, Handy Manny & many more to the relevant,trendy,best fitted with growing up years -Nintendo DS, Playstation,XBOX,Amazon iTunes gift cards ππ gave this mom plenty of poignant,heart warming reasons to shed some happy tears of a soon to be adultβs mom!
Seasons changed, leaves withered , trees bore new hues. So many near ones left us forever never to meet again.Yet the due course of time came with many new additions,new friendships, new relationships too and one day when this T moved out that would mark the beginning of yet another episode of this Chapter of Life.
A soft whimper, a nudge, soft voice β But Mamma, donβt cry!It is just five minutes to twelve – to 19th November! 5 more mins to T turning 18! Mamma ! Baba ! Can you believe – my buther T YES!! Didnβt I call him by that ? YEAH HE is turning 18 in just 5 MORE MINUTES !! Get up Mamma! No more crying! Itβs time to celebrate this BIIIG MILESTONE! Time to celebrate this budding Adult! Time to celebrate Our TIBO MAN!!!
Aah ! Thatβs when I realized how I dozed off recollecting about his growing up years! How much I yearned for my chubby cheeked shweet ball of Cookie Pieβ₯οΈπβ₯οΈ! How much would I miss our daily schedule of indulging in our favorite topic of Tucker and Todd (our favorite Golden Retriever & his sonβs vlog) as well as our wrestles when we are at our loggerheadsβ¦
But then as the saying goes-
Childhood never expires –
It just creates a beautiful segue way for a momentous beginning of a successful new life!!!
Happy 18th Birthday Tiboπππππ
Happy 18th Bithday as a Mom to Me as wellβ₯οΈππ
Cheers to life!!!
