So the first b'day is here..

I have made quite a few mistakes as a parent,but you loved me anyway,

I knew nothing about being a mother,but it didn't matter to you,

To many of your 'firsts',some I handled well and others not so well,

When my heart ached for whatever reason, you taught me that your Love would see me through..

So today my baby girl, I CELEBRATE YOU.

I celebrate your birth and all that you have brought into my life,

I celebrate the many lessons you have taught me..far too many to list here,

I celebrate the joy you have given to me and Sharat,in the last year

I wish you to -- love life and never stop dreaming,

May beauty and happiness surround you today and always!

Happy Birthday Tanu.I love you :)
