My beloved Shanu! It was Mother's Day yesterday and I missed you like crazy... I missed how you would be so excited planning to celebrate me. I missed how you would take the time to surprise me with that personalised hand-made card, writing out your heart-warming, lovely message to me, how you had thoughtfully put together a CD of both our favourite songs and left it on my pillow when I woke up last year, how you would insist on cooking a meal (of your liking) for me... of course I wouldn't mind that at all! And what you were best at... Baking! You would bake a different cake each time! You know Ranu? I had to do all of that yesterday... breakfast, the meal, but I couldn't get around to bake that cake! It would probably be my first time trying my hand at making a cake all by myself! You were the one who had introduced cake-baking to me for the first time in your fourth grade class when we had made that ugly looking cake for Book Week! Hehehe... It didn't look anything like the book cover! But I enjoyed the experience of baking with you, bonding even more with you... I always enjoyed doing things together with you. It was as if you were my best buddy! Friend-friend, that's what you'd say, putting your hand around my shoulders! I miss you so much... It was so thoughtful of Sera to call me last night and wish me a "Happy Mother's Day!" I somehow feel a connection with your friends... I love you my Preshu... and I can't wait till I'm reunited with you in our heavenly abode. I will hug you so tight that I'll never let you go, my princess! Mamma loves you a lot, Babul... :*
