I have been rehearsing this letter in my heart for as long as I have
known you. I still don't have the right words. But I'm going to try,
because you deserve every attempt. Tap the envelope β and let me pour
everything out for you, line by line. π
My Pallu. My Mommy. My Everything. πΈ
I don't know how to start a letter to the person who is my entire
world β so I'll simply start the only way I know how: honestly.
You are the most important thing that has ever happened to me.
Not in the casual, throwaway way people say important things. I mean
it in the way that rewrites a person. The way that changes the
entire shape and colour and texture of a life.
Before you, I had a life. After you, I have a home. You are the
difference between those two things β and that difference is
everything. π‘
I love how you love soft things. π°π§Έ
Because the softness isn't just something you collect and surround
yourself with β it is who you fundamentally are, deep in your bones.
You have the softest heart I have ever had the privilege of being
close enough to feel.
You love quietly. You love completely. You love so fiercely it takes
my breath away, even after all this time, even when you don't
realise you're doing it.
You love in a way that makes everyone near you feel seen. Held.
Warm. Safe. That is your greatest superpower.
You are the most extraordinary mother figure I have ever known. π
The way you nurture β not just children, not just people you are
obligated to care for β but absolutely anyone who needs warmth.
Anyone who is cold. Anyone who is lost.
You mother the whole world around you without even realising you're
doing it. That kind of love? That kind of instinct? It is the
rarest, most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed.
That is extraordinary. That is you. Entirely, completely,
irreplaceably you.
I remember that video call. π
The screen between us didn't matter. The hundreds of miles didn't
matter. All I could see was you, and all I could feel was a heart
so full it felt like it might simply overflow.
I didn't have the physical ring in my hand yet to slide onto your
finger, but I had every single bit of my soul ready to commit to
you forever. The ring is still pending, a promise waiting for the
moment we are finally together...
But when you said yes through that screen, the whole universe
exhaled with me.
I replayed that call ten thousand times in my head. It's the most
precious 'pending' promise of my life, and I can't wait to make it
real. πΉ
My Pallu β I need you to hear this. π
My love for you is not the fragile kind. It is not the kind that
fades when seasons change, or bends when things get hard, or shrinks
when we are tired and imperfect and human.
It is the permanent kind. The kind that lives in the stubbornest,
most unmoving part of me β the part that would walk through fire,
cross oceans, climb mountains, just to hold your hand on the other
side.
There is no version of any life, in any universe, in any possible
reality β where I would not choose you. A thousand times over. Ten
thousand times. Every single time. Without hesitation.
You are it for me. The whole, entire, irreplaceable it.
You are my girlfriend β the one who turned butterflies into
permanent residents in my chest and never let them leave.
You are my fiancΓ©e β the one I got down on my knee for with a heart
so full I thought it might simply burst with the beauty of the
moment.
You are my wife β the one I am building a whole extraordinary life
with, brick by beautiful, imperfect, precious brick.
You are my Mommy β the warmest, softest, most magnificent, most
irreplaceable title of all. πΈ
I hope you feel, reading this, even half of what I feel when I think
of you.
I hope it reaches the part of you that sometimes forgets how deeply,
how wildly, how unconditionally you are loved.
Because you are loved, Pallu. More than words have ever been able to
carry. More than this letter could ever hold.
Happy Mother's Day, My Pallu. Today is for you. Every day is for
you. ππΈπ
Yours. Completely. Forever. Always. Without end. π
