Dear Oju
Happy Birthday mera chota bambam!! This is a love/thank you letter for graciously entering my life and giving me a reason to look forward to every single day. Everything that you do has made me fall in love with you - your personality, the way you think, the way you talk, the way you walk, your eyes, your lips, your hair, your nose, your hands, your body, everything. Every cell in my body has Oju written all over it in bold, block letters. You deserve credit for every single thing that I have achieved, for keeping me motivated, for making me feel loved, and for being there for me whenever I need even a tiny bit of support.
You make me feel special and valued in ways that I never imagined. Every time I see you or talk to you, you make me feel elated. I have called you crying my heart out so many times and you always left me smiling by the end. You take care of me in so many ways, you make sure that I eat well and take care of myself. You are there with me when I feel lonely. Not just me, you take care of all your loved ones so well that it makes me fall in love with you every time. You are my strength and I hope I can be yours too.
I can listen to you for hours, your voice is like music bambam. I love listening to your office ki stories and your friends' ki gossip. Tumko jitna gussa karna hai tum karna and me bas tumko pyari karta rahunga. Maine vaise bhi jo gadbade kari hai me usi ke layak hu, me kabhi complain nahi karunga iske bare me. Tum mujhe pyar karta ho mere liye ye sabse badh kar hai, me isse zyada God se kuch mang hi nahi sakta.
You inspire me. I hope I can be at least 1% of what you are, that would still make me the second-best human in the universe (first ofc, is you). You are the strongest, most powerful, and most beautiful woman I have ever seen. After everything you have been through, after so many mistakes that I have made, you always look forward, resilient as ever, fighting through everything and winning every time. Life is very hard, I know that, but I want to learn how to deal with it from you. I want to have the emotional strength that you have. And I only want you to help me develop through my journey of life.
What you have given me and done for me cannot be put into words. Thank you for giving me the honor of being yours <3
- Tumhara Chota Paru
