Dearborn Daniel Turns Ten!

 

Dearest Danichan,

My heart warms up when you say “I want to sleep on your madithala” although it may not be realistic when driving. I love to stroke your hair during family prayer time and give you gentle, squeeze hugs every day. I wish I could say “I love you no matter what and I will always be there for you, Danichan” every night before your bedtime. I hope to weave  a million magical memories for you  through years to come- read motivational quotes every morning, learn more Kunjumary songs, make more poookkaalams, carve more   Halloween pumpkins, bake our traditional upside down pineapple cake and tutti frutti cake for holidays, solve NYT games and jigsaw puzzles,  learn Spanish in Duolingo,  proverbs and idioms… and the list goes on.

And maybe; as years go by; when you become the mightiest superhero, I will reveal all the secret ingredients in the powerful CDS smoothie
(in addition to love) and what really happened on December 4 2024.

We hope you cherish your tenth birthday forever- flying drones wearing a propeller hat, enjoying your favorite feastables; sipping flavored water from your favorite Cirkul bottle while relaxing on a beanbag.

Wishing you a life of countless blessings, delightful surprises, endless possibilities and everlasting joy! Adventure is out there!!

Love, Appa and Amma.
