A Father’s Diary

Dear Sweetheart,

It’s your birthday, your special day. And I want to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy birthday.

I remember the time when we used to celebrate your birthday before Tabi was born. It used to be just you and I, a romantic dinner, and carefree night.

Things are different now. Much different.

Gone are the days when we could spends hours in each others’ arms, driving and wandering around town, singing our favorite songs, and not worrying about anything else.

Now Tabi is part of everything we do. We have to make her sleep before we sleep at night, keep it quite when she is asleep, make sure she is well fed, dressed up, and clean before we go for an outing, try to rectify the reason she is crying.

Today your life and my life revolves around our child. I am sure it’s more cumbersome for you as she is with you 24×7 and I am there only for few hours a day. But the fact remains that we don’t get any time to sit and talk with peace, share some precious moments, enjoy life.

But that doesn’t mean the importance of your day, your birthday, has decreased any bit. It still matters the most. Even if we don’t celebrate it the same way, even if I don’t get a chance to give you a greeting card, even if you spend the entire night and day of your birthday attending to tabi’s needs, it’s still your birthday.

So let me revive and renew my feelings by saying that I will always love you and you will always be in my heart. No matter how cold and boring our world may become, the warmth of our love will always ignite our lives.

And some day, when there will be no more distractions, we will be together again like we used to be.

I wish you a very happy and joyous birthday, my lovely wife.

With all my love,

A father
