A single father's letter to his son/daughter.
Translation:
(If) humans take multiple births per life..
I am someone who feels re-born everyday without even facing death.
When you: half-feet miracle cried for the first time,
my breath was new & deep.
Your existance that embraced my mind - body stopped me from giving my self to smoke and cancer.
Even when I brought you: mom-less child up all alone, as your face is persitantly on my mind everyday was new; every war felt light!
I who was born in a way with you, (though not your sibling)
I also grew with you.
(Like our) First sight, First word, First suffering, First quarrel..
All our "Firsts" strengthened my motherhood.
My volatile creativity is still alive & non-volatile coz of you.
My stream of thoughts is now solid and I chiselled it myself to its perfection, borrowing your deepest dreams.
If the poor one who got neglected trained self in different jobs to feed us; worked for years; invested in us; retired healthily with good friends, you are my boon (moksha).
U got the illiterate me used to cellphone, English etc..
The books I read for you & with you are now happily in library after helping me getting graduated too.
When you dyed my hair & told me to drop widowhood, I almost died to reply anything.
Now, As I video chat with your children in Tamil wearing coolers, drinking iced tea, surrendering my legs to the lap of beach sand to get healed, they said "Stay here (with us), grandpa". That very moment was yet another death-less re-birth to me retaining all my memories.
The fitness band your spouse gifted keeps me healthy. Good one. Pass my gratitude. You have chosen a good partner. I'm content! Very happy!!
Next month, we are walking near (the mountain) Alps. I have attached all the details.
Boat & Ukulele have waited enough.
We will talk again tomorrow!!!
With blessings,
Your yappoov.
