Dear mother,
I miss you amidst all the crowd, all the meaningful conversations, all the sorrows, panic, joys and happiness and you know it. Today Shilpita di posted a status on WhatsApp with Saheli di with the caption "My one and only adopted child". I have seen them together. I have seen them as couples, as friends, as acquaintances, I have seen the depth of the caption in them long before.
The caption brought such joy to my heart. And sadness too. I am so happy to know that what I have craved for, all my life, each day, does exist in the universe. Maybe not for me, maybe for someone else, but it does. And I think it is enough reason to be hopeful, in life, not for myself but for all the children who have longed to be loved, to be cared for, to be protected, to feel the warmth.
I promise I will be a person who will carry all the warmth to any child who needs it. I will break the cycle.
And, I will wait for you, beyond this life.
Yours truly,
