Meet My Prince.

 12 full years of you and your sweet love! The last 6 months you have raced yourself into adolescence.Overnight you grew taller and your voice changed.Probably next year you may rise above your Dad.I look hard for that little boy we once knew and surprisingly I find him often.I find his love and sweet smile.I find him in your gentle being. You are the opposite of me and so much like  your Appa, always gentle and kind and stable.Do you know I admire this so much?You also look so much like your Appa ;it simply fills me with great joy! One day you walked upto me and said,Amma I don't want to be a failure.Oh sweet child, you will make mistakes, too many of them, but to be human is the opposite of failure.You are that already, you always will be that.Some days you tell me you want to be a business man, most days you talk to me about traveling the entire world, you tell me you will take us three in the choicest airplanes and make us live in a big mansion.Your dre...

Now, almost 10 years later,10 wondrous  and love-filled  years later, I am a mum to a confident, lovable, honest and a funny tween. Ten years of so many firsts and every year has thrown me by surprise. Raising you has been a wildly beautiful gift from the heavens above but more than that it has set me out on my path of self discovery too.
