Hello Abba,
How you are you doing? I came to know from amma that your radiation therapy has started. I’m glad to know that and I’m counting my days when you will be back with us…I know its not easy for you also, I do understand as I’m 17 months old now … have become a big boy !!… Life has become so much fun... I can walk and even run. …I can go wherever I want without somebody dragging me in different directions… I really enjoy my new found freedom and I make full use of it…. I make amma run around me all the time …I have bunch of friends too and I play with them in the evening. I like amma to be around when I play... I have to tell you this abba; you know amma screams at me when I greet my friends by a push or few slaps and scratch. Even my friends run away when I do that, I wonder why? Some of them even slap me back and at times cry, especially pinky and nunnu. They are such babies huh!!! I don’t know when they will grow up. Like amma, do you also think that I should find some other way of greeting them?
I want to spend as much time as possible with amma. I don’t like it when she goes and sits in front of the computer for hours. I feel so irritated that I don’t let her work for more than 15 minutes at a stretch. You must be wondering as to how I manage to do that… I have become very smart abba; I know many ways to grab her attention…Like I go and stand next to her and I howl and howl and howl till she picks me up and leaves that stupid computer. If howling does not work, I snatch the mouse, bang it hard on the table or I start hitting the entire keys on the keyboard… (I love the khater patter sound that they make…) when all of these fail; I use my secret weapons…. I attack her with my teeth… Yes now I have 9 of them and I know how and when to use them… I’m just itching to give you a sample, hope you will not give me extreme reactions like amma. Again you must be wondering that being such a nice boy why I do all these things to trouble her. Well abba I don’t like to see her work alone… I’m so used to seeing both of you work together that I feel sad when I see her work alone. I promise, I will try and spend sometime with nani and phoophis so that she can work a bit. I know how important it is for both of you.
How is dadi?? I miss her a lot. Give her my love and tell her that I can speak many words now like doo(milk) amma, aapa, shoo(shoes), mum(water and pee), dada, dadi, naani… thats all I can recall right now.
Love you abba and I’m waiting with bated breath to be with you again. How I long to run around and play with you like before.
Lots of love, bites and hugs
Your boy,
Chota Shumzee
