Dear Maya,
You came into my life a year ago and it’s amazing how the past 12 months have overtaken my entire 26 years in existence just like that. I often say that I have forgotten what my life was like before you. And I mean it. I can’t remember or even imagine to have ever lived without you. You’re not just a final piece of the puzzle that have finally been put together or a part of my soul that completes me. You are more than that. When you were born, it felt like I was given a new life. A life that puts you in the center of it all and instantaneously too, I left behind everything I have ever lived for or cared about.
I often say, too, that I wish I had you earlier. How I wasted all those years of not knowing you, not seeing you, not touching you and ultimately, not loving you… But of course that’s just me being over-dramatic as usual. I am more than grateful and thankful to Allah SWT for this blessing of mine. For this sweet, sweet little girl I’ve been blessed with.
You’ve always been easy to take care of, Maya. You are simply an easy baby. Only the simplest things will do the trick for you – like when you were younger all I had to was cradle you in my arms and you’d be fast asleep, the only times you cried were when you wanted your milky or a diaper change, bath time was never a nightmare and now a hug or a cuddle will do to put you to sleep. You are understanding, patient and loving – like when you wake up in the middle of the night and start to cry, I’d ask you to wait and sit quietly on the bed while I get the milk done and when I come back I’d see you sitting upright on the bed cross-legged waiting patiently like a patron of a restaurant. And recently, you’ve learned how to give something to me upon request – like if you’re holding a phone or something you’re not supposed to, I’d ask you to “give mummy the phone” and you’d give me and look up expectantly for a “thank you and clever girl!” and then you’ll break into a huge grin.
I love you, sweet clever baby. I will always love you and will always give you my all, my best.
And today is your very first birthday. Happy Birthday sweetheart and may Allah bless you with good health and a good life, always.
