It's 24th September 😊! My favourite day of the year! It has always been a day for new beginnings, and happy things for me.
One such 24th September event, and the most important one of all, was the birth of my Sam.
He was due on October 5th, and so on September 24th, I was least expecting him. Our immediate family and a few close friends had gathered at our home, to celebrate several family events.
Towards the cake-cutting part, I felt a different sensation, and we decided to drop in at the hospital, for a general check. As it turned out, the doc said I was 8 cm's dilated, and had to stay back. After that, it was all a blur!
The next thing I remember, the clock is 11:47 pm, and there was Sam, with me, on 24th September 2012! I was thrilled, that we both share a birthday 😊! Little did I know, that this little soul had arrived to transform my life!
I had read a lot of pregnancy books, done everything within my power, to have a smooth and healthy pregnancy, and ensure his health and safety, and believed I had it all under control.
Being a natural at managing responsibilities, I believed I was ready for this new responsibility. But, like most newbie mothers, I couldn't have anticipated, what being a mother truly entailed, until his little tiny soul popped into my life.
Together, we have had much fun and hair-pulling moments, over the years. Our journey has been nothing short of a roller-coaster ride!
But, when I would look at him then, and even now, I feel something beautiful! I feel love! I feel warmth! I feel waves of emotion! I feel admiration! I feel 'Wow, I must have done something really good, to be blessed with him 😊!
I also feel severely protective of him! I feel like his seat-belt and helmet! I feel like his shield and amour! I feel like his umbrella! I feel like I wanna spread myself around him and form a fortress of protection around him.
He is the best version of me, and the best version of his father! And when any of us look at him, we are filled with love and pride, for how far he has come on his journey. And the many ways in which his presence, has transformed our lives.
He brought me back to music, after a hiatus of 14 years, so, I could finally accept my soul's calling. He has been my music student and my music teacher, as feeding his voracious appetite for music, has challenged and continues to challenge me to dive deeper into music.
I know, as his mother, I'm probably expected to love him so much. But, honestly, even if he wasn't my son, I think he still would have evoked these emotions in me. That's the kind of soul he is. Everyone falls in love with him 😊.
He is my 24th September gift from heaven, my blessing, my everything! And he has grown my soul profoundly, not just as a parent, but, as a human being, as a teacher, and as a musician! He has been my greatest teacher!
Love, from my soul to yours!
Soulful
