Today, 1 year ago

Dearest Airiel,

Mama dedicates this post to you. Mama hopes that one day you will read this and realise how loved you were at the time Mama wrote this.

Today, 1 year ago, you came out of Mama's tummy.

That was how you looked like... when Mama saw you..all the pain Mama felt went away. Mama fell in love with you at first sight. The love Mama felt was beyond words, beyond description.. you just took Mama's breath away.

After the 10 days that Abah spent with us, he returned to JB and it was just you and me...Mama was not recovering that well. It was difficult for Mama to do anything but when Mama looked at you, Mama felt like Mama could touch the sky and get everything done and Mama did...for you with your help.

Since then, so many ups and downs we have endured, just you and Mama. The 3 week period where you refused to sleep at all when you were 3 months old, the first time you smiled at Mama. The first time you kissed Mama. The first time you called out "Mama", your first step, your first giggle..is immortalised forever in Mama's heart.

Mama is sorry for having to leave you everyday to go to work. It breaks Mama's heart to see you look at Mama and cry. It is something Mama is doing to make your life comfortable because Mama loves you so much.

You are walking now and you are growing up so fast. Mama cannot believe that you are 1 year old today. Mama feels so blessed, so thankful that you are present in Mama's life.

Know that Mama cannot imagine life without you. Know that this love will never fade.

Thank you so much dearest Airiel...

Love always,

Mama
