On this day…

14 Dec 2007 – I finally got to meet you at 7.30 pm. After an initial cry, you went silent and focused your eyes on me as if trying to recognise me. I will never forget that moment. You were so tiny and calm and perfect. I counted your curled up fingers and toes and marveled at how perfectly formed they were. I promised myself that I would always love, care and protect you while still allowing you to learn and grow with life.

14 Dec 2013 – You turn 6 today! Imagine that! As cliched as it may sound, time really flew by. You will be starting a new journey into primary school life and I wish that your school years ahead will be filled with wonderment, adventure, the feeling of finding a best friend who will be there for you. Life will be hard at times but always remember that we are here for you and that together we can make our lives rich and fulfilling. May you go to be a fine young gentleman. I love you, my not-so- little MilkyBar.
