Hi Grace ... wrote this one 3 years ago.... never published it :) I guess everything under heaven has a perfect time!
February is a month for birthdays in our family and for at least the reason of not being able to eat cake ... I am sad I am not in Mumbai ... where most of the celebration is happening. I want to write something for each of those who have a birthday this month. I may not complete it by your birth date - but hope to get it posted by your the end of the month
Here is to my favorite person
Grace; Happy Birthday - I know you are 14 --- but to me your are still the little girl who I held 14 years ago - one fine Saturday morning. Or was it close to noon. I think it was close to noon.
I always want you to remember these things about your birth -
1. Your mother went through over 36 hours of labour before you were born - Always value and appreciate her (I always give advice --- sometimes you see me not praticising it -- I am working on that skill)
2. You were really lucky to have so many people waiting to see you - Here is the list
Appacha (Baby)
Pappa (Santosh)
Ammachi (Molu ammachi)
Ammachi ( ponnu ammachi)
Chochmmachi
I think Appu appacha and Chinnama ammachi were also around but probably just arrived or left before you came into the world.
And of course ME
3. You were very lucky to be cuddled by your Great-grand mother (maternal) a few hours of being born!
4. You were called Kuttappi (named by Baby Appacha) a nickname forgotten -- but apt for you!
5. Your parents spent days looking for the perfect name for you! It is perfect!
6. Your mother and father spent days arguing who you looked like (him or her). I think you are a perfect mixture - Good from both sides - be thankful for that
7. Your father counted your fingers and toes to ensure you had the correct number (Too funny)
There are lots more I can go on about --- but to end all of this
I am so thankful that you were born into our family and I am so thankful that I got to be your aunt!
Happy Birthday - May the Lord bless you and may he make his face shine upon you!
