My Beloved, Precious Son, Jairus

Where do I begin!!??? I can’t even fully express what I’m feeling right now as I write this birthday note to you. My heart is so so full, darling 🥹 Just thinking about my beautiful firstborn whom I first held in my arms with pride; the first grandchild in our family who started growing into this little boy whose eyes were always glowing with curiosity, wonder, and joy over the little things, whose smile and laughter was simply contagious and captivating, whose hands were always quick to offer help or share generously, whose heart was filled with kindness, compassion, and a deep gratitude and love for God, whose legs were never still in one place rather endlessly climbing, jumping around, exploring, and fearlessly sharing his faith with other kids! 😍

Look at how that little boy of mine has grown into this marvellous 17 year old who still possesses these same qualities yet in a greater measure not to mention swag! 😅 My son left India as a young boy but is returning back for a visit as a young man, with even more irresistible charm, ambition, kindness, a deeper love n fervour for God and a more refined musician/singer🌟 Hope you discover the many more talents that’s hidden inside you!

Darling, I hold dear and remember those prophecies spoken over you as a little baby as I witness our faithful God’s amazing plans unfold in your life. He has written every word in every line of each chapter of your story, so there’s no reason for me to worry about how everything will turn out in your life cos I know, it is and will be just awesome. He always reminds me that He’s the one who’s carrying you now though I can’t anymore. He’s the one who’s watching over you constantly though I can’t anymore which is way better than I ever could! It’s astonishing how the Lord grants your heart’s desires, from the most insignificant one’s to the really big one’s. His love for you is so extravagant that you nor any of us can fathom it ♥️

My darling boy, I cannot stress enough of how proud Dada and I are of you! Regardless of what you achieve in life (which we know is beyond our imagination), ‘you’ (and your brother) will always be our trophy! Always stay humble and treasure your Savior. May He surround you with godly friends and mentors who lift you up. May your heart always stay tender toward Him, even as you chase big dreams.

Here, we all miss you so so badly but I miss you the most (tell no one 😉) There are days when I wish that Dada and I hadn’t send you off but then again, I remember we can’t keep an eagle 🦅 that’s meant to soar caged up forever n then I’m grateful n thank God that you are living the life that He has perfectly planned for you!

Love you to infinity and beyond, our gem and God’s gift to us 😘 Though we’re far away today, you’re never far from God’s presence or our prayers and we celebrate you with all our hearts. You’ll always be our beloved son, and we’re cheering you on in every season of your journey 🎉📣

“Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.”— 1 Timothy 4:12

Wishing you a very very HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Son!!!🎉 🎉🎈🎊🎊💝

P.S. You outgrew my lap but never my heart 😉🤗
