Six months of living without you. Six months without your giggles and laughter ringing in our home. And I can tell you, it\u2019s not been an easy journey for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are days when I just can\u2019t stop thinking about you. Some days it\u2019s about the joy I felt when I first conceived you\u2014the excitement, the wonder, the promise of being a mother again. I had promised myself that I would do everything possible for this new life inside me, to enjoy every bit of my pregnancy, to welcome you with all the love I had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember those days when a pregnant me would take Mana for her music classes. Maybe that\u2019s why you had a connection with music even before you were born. Mana would sing, and you would move around so much inside me. Those moments were so precious. I would talk to you, listen to bhajans and mantras, and keep trying to build a bond with you even before your tiny hands touched mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those were our moments, just yours and mine. Even now, when I think of them, I feel that same warmth and hope, like you\u2019re still so close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then reality hits hard\u2014that you\u2019re not here physically anymore. That truth crushes me every time. And I feel bereft of all the love we shared, all the beautiful moments we created. This vaccum in my heart feels unbearable, doesn\u2019t let me breathe, and everything seems meaningless. I find myself searching for you in every corner of life\u2014only to be reminded that I won\u2019t be able to hold you again in this lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet, Adi, you are with me. <em><strong>You are a part of me, forever. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bond we shared is still alive in me. <strong><em>I carry you in every breath, in every prayer, in every beat of my heart. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That bond can never be broken, no matter how much time passes. <strong><em>Six months or sixty years\u2014it will always be you and me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love you endlessly,<br>Mamma \ud83d\udc99<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been six months since Adi left us.
