My dearest amma I was in tears when I realized that I missed wishing you on your birthday, again. You called me on your birthday and I was busy and said I would call back. Not one line, nothing. As is you are the most patient person with no expectations or very few. Your resilience and patience is known by all. I go on about my daily chores in my almost perfect life getting all stressed about day to day things. Your life has been chaotic but never have I seen anyone so organized.You will never even utter a word if I don't wish you. Amma, I am so truly sorry.
This year is special. You are celebrating your sixtieth! I did remember even on the day before. I remembered enough to order a little special something for you. If all goes right you should have it end of this month/beginning of the next. But on that day I forgot. I went on with my daily tasks and did not stop to look at the calendar and see what date it was. Bad bad me...
The dad probably didn't remember and you have never made him guilty for it. The son cannot be expected to remember. But the daughter has no excuse. Especially now that she is a mom. She should know more about 'taking for granted'. I still take you for granted don't I. Hmm....sigh...in this circle of life things always come around. Do take heart in the fact that I did not forget that your special day was coming, but only forgot on that day.
Today, ten days later I wish you a very very happy b'day. I wish you happiness and joy but you really know how to get them from every chance that life offers you. I wish you pearls and rubies, but you swear that you don't have enough chances to wear even the ones you have got. I wish you love - mine and those of everyone around you. But you have all that and more.
For all that you have done and for all that you have given me,...thank you.
And birthday wishes from the heart.
You know I mean right though it might not sound right! I love you amma....
