Dear Abby,
You are going to be seven months old in two days. You are my little but big boy and believe me, every one around loves you more than anyone around in this whole world!! (And, you have a mother who writes her mind out without proofing it. Bare with her!)
I thought of writing this letter to you- One, because it has been my first work week after your birth. I am leaving you home with Dadi and Tai.Two, because I just love writing mails to my near and dear ones and welcome to the club of the people I love writing to. You are in a gang of only six people so far!)
Today is the fourth day of my five days work week, in my very new and challenging job. You have been nothing but a blessing for this new and now working Mumma because you are happy without Momma at home. You do not cry or you are still not clingy. Every one say, once you will be nine or ten months old you might be too upset when I would be going to office but I have a hunch that you will support the challenging role your mom wants to crack!
Oh, it does not mean I do not miss you. On the first day, when I came back home- you sort of ignored me. My heart broke then and there but in two three minutes when you started playing with me in your usual way, I could not stop smiling. On the second day, a few Building Aunties blamed me indirectly for being selfish. However, it was your Dad who reminded me why I am working. He also told me that when you would grow up, you would appriciate me for managing my career well and would also understand that every person (irrespective of his/her gender) should have a freedom of choice- Specially in terms of, To work or Not to work, after marriage or having kids.
I might sound harsh but I am an individual. I did not lose my individual personality even after getting married to your Dad (Thanks to him!) and hence, when your very wise 'A' Pishimoni adviced the tired Mumma of yours in her passive voice, a few months back:" Abby is a part of you, rest of your personality still needs to have passion and joy! You will be happy if you preserve that part and so would be Abby!" I could not and can not agree more. Do you know the most wonderful part? Your Dad belives in it more than any one of us. And to prove? I am spending total three quality hours with you every day before going to office and after coming back and they are nothing but JOY.
Another reason for me to join work - is AMBITION. I have a few for myself, your Dad has some as well and you would have some for yourself. Everyone should have a goal or goals in life to reach to and Believe me, some day you would know why I did not give up on this one.
Abby, I am sure you would give me strength to crack this new role which matters to me a lot. However, be sure that you are the most important part of your Mom and Dad.
Love,
Mumma
