On Your Anniversary!

Hola, MaPa!

Today y’all are going to cross a legendary milestone in your relationship and the history of our family and it brings me so much joy to write this letter to both of you! We are standing at a great height today, from where the view is surreal and things seem pretty much under control, but what has taken from you two to reach here is something indescribable. What has mattered all this while is you two surviving the hardships together, not looking at the size of the problems while solving them and wanting to win over any tough situation.

My chest swells with pride thinking how you have not only started small and made it big, but also how you, as two individuals, were in it together to face it all. No wonder you own every inch of freedom you enjoy today. Your marriage has been a perfect example of ‘opposites attract’ and we all know what has taken from both of you to get used to each other! There have been good times, bad and seriously sad, but it all passed like a short night and there we were, again, to welcome a fresh day.

You don’t know how your mere presence and your way of carrying your life has been there in our lives as a great beam of hope. All our childhood, we knew we had your back every time we were in some serious shit and I am sure that is a very big thing. You had this additional responsibility of solving our fuss while handling your own. Our lives, too, have been no less than drama but you have surely handled it all like an artist.

You’ve not only taught us surviving really long ‘rainy’ days, but also partying all the while we were passing them. This is the perfect time to thank you both for giving us a life we never knew we deserved, for bringing up us well in the circumstances that there were, for taking care of us through thick and thin, for helping us pass this really tough phase called, teenage, for putting up with our struggles, for understanding our wishes and demands, for trusting in us with our decisions in life, for loving us unconditionally all the while and for giving this amazing sense of support we always have in the back of our minds because of you two.

No wonder, we two are a hybrid version of a, clean-hearted, outspoken, very sweet dad and a smart, caring, loving mom! You two perfectly complete this incredible place we love to call our ‘home’!

Happy 30th, 70 more to go! *touchwood*!

I'm still waiting for you to get her home, bhai! :)
