Ethereal happiness

To my gogu, my munchkin, our bundle of joy, and happiness, my chota packet bada dhamaka, can’t begin to explain how happy your shouts for attention get me. You spitting out all your food in the funniest possible way leaves me laughing for hours.

Today I held my lil baby sister after 5 long months. 5 months of watching her tactics of getting away with putting everything in her mouth from a distance. 5 months of being literally a foot and half away but not being able to kiss her drooping cheeks. 5 months of sheer “haath ko aaya mooh na lagaya”.

These 5 months Taught me immense patience and self control while every ounce of me wanted to grab her and hug her tight till my heart warmed up, I knew I couldn’t do anything more than imagine how it’d be to finally hug my ball of sunshine. Every time dadi swung her towards I wished she’d come closer so I could touch her and today I finally did.

The minute I held her tiny lil fingers an instant feel of warmth crept into me. A feeling k won’t forget even after a life time. It made my heart smile. And the moment I was told “jaa uthaa le” And I held her in my arms, my lil princess my angel, I hugged her as tight as I ever could. Tears rolled down my cheeks subconsciously. tears of joy due to the overwhelming and the most surreal feeling. The sukoon, the satisfaction, the happiness cannot be put into words, trust me I’ve tried. From her restless calls for attention,to her huge dreamy marble eyes, everything has my heart. Thank you for making my heart smile after countless days of being so close but yet so far,

I promise to never leave those lil fingers of yours, your emo didi loves you ❤️ - -
