The report came the next day, and with it came another blow. My baby was diagnosed with a medical condition, a very complicated medical jargon I had heard for the first time. I frantically searched online, trying to make sense of the words on the report. What I found left me shaken. The more I…
A Sudden Stillness
February 2018 — By now, Adi was five months old, and our world revolved around him. Every little moment, every tiny milestone, became the centre of our lives. His sleep, his giggles, his little fists grasping our fingers—everything felt precious. We cherished every moment. For my daughter, having a baby brother was a dream come…
Your Handprints, Your Scribbles, Your Love
Dear Adi, Every day, we try to make peace with the fact that you’re not here with us physically. But the truth is, it still doesn’t feel real. Every morning, I wake up and feel lost all over again. There’s no Adu to wake me up with a hug and a sleepy kiss on my…

A Month Without You!
Dearest Adi, Today marks one month since you left us physically. One month of living without you. One month without your laughter ringing my home, your naughtiness entertaining us. One month without your hugs, your kisses, your “I Love You”s and so much more. My heart aches for you so much that I can’t breathe….
A Letter To Adi
My sweetheart, you came into our lives on a beautiful Sunday in 2017. Though we were expecting you a month later, you decided to crash and hijack Mana ba’s 10th birthday. Before you were born, I didn’t know that I could love someone as I loved Mana. But you changed all that. You came and you carved out your space amongst our (Mamma, Deta & Mana ba’s) hearts.
