Daughter’s Birthday

Tomorrow is my daughter’s birthday. She is all existed about the occasion. She wants to have a small kid’s party. I took two days off from my office to be with my kids as per their wish. She did the purchase of birthday dress, chocolates, return gifts, balloons, color papers, gift wrappers, then prizes for some small events that I would conduct etc. The birthday cake and the party snacks are to be got. I helped her with writing the party invitation and she set off to give it to her friends. She is beaming with happiness and it is a treat to see our kids being happy. I enjoy the bubliness of my daughter and she is like camphor in water, always upto something unexpected. Especially she has been preparing for this birthday almost from 3 months back.

As I let my thoughts go a few years back, I will always cherish this day, as this was the day, when I was also born afresh as a “MOTHER”. This was the day when I felt on top of the world and felt what it meant to be a mother. I will always thanks god for blessing me with a beautiful angel.

I remember me feeling uncomfortable, not knowing that it was in fact delivery pain a few years back from today. I told my mom that may be we check up once again from the doctor. My mom was hesitant, as I had told the same thing in the morning, we had gone to the hospital and the doctor had told me to come again after 2 days. But something told me we had to go back yet again. My father asked my mom to take me over, and told he would wait it the car. When I went into the labor room, my favorite doctor was on duty for the day. She checked me and told, I was in labor. She asked me to bring my spare dress etc, but I being a superstitious girl, never prepared anything and didn’t want to buy anything for the baby till she was in hand. It was late in the evening. I could see the tension in my father’s face. I was always a kid to him and he still treats me so. Then in the early hours of the day, I was with my angle in my hands, happiness in my face and a mixed bag of emotions at heart. So this day actually is a very important and a turning point in my life. This is the day when I was given lots of responsibility by the lord, this is the day which has changed the very meaning of my life and this is the day which has brought in a new dimension to my life.

Though years have rolled by, this day will still remain fresh in my heart. What ever party and celebrations happen around me, what ever cake cutting may happen, what ever goodies may be served, what ever dance may happen, my heart will sincerely keep thanking god for making me mother on this big day of my life.
