Message for the most awaited cherub

My dear cherub,

You have no idea how excited we are to meet you finally.
Thank God, you are almost here and we cannot wait any longer.
Your dad and I have been waiting for you for the past long months and very soon we’ll get to see you, touch you, talk to you and gaze into your beautiful eyes. I’m especially waiting to hold you in my arms, nuzzling your sweet smelling head. Your daddy could not wait, his efforts to keep me happy makes this journey a lot at ease, everything feels better when he is around. From running the errands till to making us a glass of chilled juice from the kitchen , although he stirred the ice cubes in the juice and gave us because he thought you will catch cold in there. He never complains nor get tired of getting the things we want though he makes plunders at times in his naive efforts . He would get us many things and I would end up watching him devour the cookies and goodies he brought for us but that's the fun part. I’ve been preparing for motherhood since long but the feelings that you give me now is a whole lot different than what I have always imagined being a mother one day.  We are preparing our hearts with prayers to be a good parent, to help you learn and grow up in God’s love, and to be the best example to others. Taking care of you and teaching you how to take good care of yourself sounds like the most fun and rewarding thing I could possibly do in my life. Thanks for helping me fulfill my life’s purpose.
Just wait ‘till you meet your dad in person.’  He is an amazing person.  I just know he is going to be such a wonderful father to you. When I was choosing a husband I decided to choose the man with the biggest, most beautiful heart I could find and that is your dad. When you were still 6-7 months inside me, he made sure to talk to you every day and I am sure you must have felt him when he told you how much he loves you. He would hold on to us and pray for us every night before he goes to sleep. He loves so truly, cares so deeply, and shares himself so openly.  I love his honesty and the way he has trouble keeping a secret, even when it is a fun surprise.  I completely trust him to take exquisite care of all of our hearts, which is really the most important task of all. I am praying that one day you will grow up stepping into his footprints and be like him.
And on top of all that, he is hilarious! So funny at times,I promise he will always make us smile. With your daddy in our lives, we are sure to have lots and lots of laughter and fun.
Your aunt’s and grandma keep telling me that you are “one blessed baby” and I totally agree to it. I have always thought of myself as one of the luckiest people on earth having your daddy with me. And I’m so happy to pass on my good fortune and blessings to you. In fact, there is no one else rather than you, my baby, who I will bless with endless good luck and the ability to appreciate and to be thankful to God for the gift of life and family.
One of my deepest hopes is that we can always share openly with each other, no matter what is happening, you know you can always come to us, share whatever is in your heart and we’ll always love you no matter what.  There may be times when we may not like each other very much, but even then, please know that we love you dearly, deeply, and without conditions.  And even in times when you think you don’t, we’ll remember that you love us too.  Because that’s how it is in our family, we practice unconditional love and acceptance and forgiveness no matter what the circumstances are.
So, welcome to life on Earth , and welcome to your family very soon. May you be surrounded by love, inspired to learn and grow in and with it, and always know that you are the best ‘gift to us’ by God and that we deeply cherished you.

Will be in love with you forever,

Your Mom

Redefining Parenthood: Equal Responsibilities, Equal Love

As I navigated through challenges of parenting our sons, I couldn't help but reflect on the importance of shared responsibilities in our household. A friend's experience resonated with me - her husband refused to change diapers or care for their child, citing it as the mother's job. While mothers have a unique bonding experience, it's essential to recognize that both parents have an equal share of responsibility. Honestly, my home isn't perfect, now that we are parenting two boys but we strive for balance. When I returned to work, my husband took on childcare duties, adjusting our schedules to ensure our sons received the care they needed. It wasn't seamless, but he grew into an exceptional caregiver, taking on roles traditionally associated with mothers. It's infuriating to hear people refer to fathers caring for their kids as 'babysitting' . A baby-sitter is someone who takes care of a child temporarily. A father caring for his children is simply b...

Rewrite Your Story

We've all got parts of our past we wish we could redo. Moments we replay in our heads, wishing we'd done things differently. But here's the truth: your past isn't a life sentence. It's just one chapter in your story. What matters most is what you choose to do now. Every day, you get to turn the page, write a new story, and decide that your story doesn't end with pain, mistakes, guilt, or heartache. You're not stuck, and you're not defined by what happened or the choices you made. You're evolving, and the beauty of life is that you get to take the pen back and write something new – something true to who you are now. So, stop looking back with regret. Your past shaped you, but it doesn't define you. Look forward with intention. You're in control of how your story ends, and trust me, it can still be extraordinary.

Decoding Delhi School Part 2

A truly appreciable format!  As a parent, I've always been curious about my son's performance in the entrance exam, not because I'm obsessed with marks, but because we relocated from a place with different educational standards and I want to know the areas we might be lacking to reach the standards here. My son and I worked diligently for weeks, revising concepts and basics in grammar and math. So, it was thrilling to receive a comprehensive assessment sheet, complete with insightful feedback on his strengths and weaknesses from the evaluating teacher. As a parent, this is exactly what I look for in a school - transparency, constructive feedback, and a genuine interest in helping my child grow. Kudos to Delhi School for setting a high standard! In conclusion, I'm impressed and grateful for the school's thorough assessment process. It's clear that they prioritize understanding each child's unique needs and potential. I'm excited to see my son thrive in th...
