Ten years ago, on the day of 12th December an angel came in my life. As a family, we Balani’s were going through very difficult time. But this angel made it little easier. Till today she remains very easy going child and angel of us all.
From the time she was born, I literally cried every time when she cried till she turned almost five. Then one day she questioned me, “Why do you ask me not to cry when you yourself cry?”
That day I decided and worked on changing myself that I won’t do for anybody else. Unknowingly, she made me stronger. I don’t remember if I ever laughed heartily when she laughed, but for sure I always feel on the top of the world when her eyes smile and she knows that my action depicts it. She is my strength and I know I am hers.
At the tender age of four, she said something that touched my heart powerfully. My husband was out on business assignment. I was six months pregnant with my second child. In the evening, after work I picked her up from daycare. We entered home and I sat on sofa. I started crying (pregnancy mood swings). This little angel was only four years then. She sat by me and asked, “Mumma, what happened? Why are you crying?”
I didn’t know how to explain her about my mood swing. So I hugged her tight and replied, “You know when I go out, how you miss me and cry, the exact same way I am missing my mom today.”
She immediately wiped my tears and said, “Don’t cry momma. Just for today, I will pretend to be your mom.”
Then she held my head, tried to bring it down in her lap. After that she asked me to put down my head in her lap and lie down. When I played along, she caressed my hairs as if she was my mom. That moment was so special. I will cherish it for lifetime. Not only this moment, but many other moments like this assure me that I am so blessed to have Bhumi as a daughter.
I can’t believe she is already 10. My darling, love you to pieces!
