Elyas Muffriezal is a year old today.
So very grateful to have him with us.
Not only does his presence in the brood
add to the doses of laughter but the joy
he brings, to both his parents and to mine,
is priceless. Babies are indeed blessings, be
they our own flesh and blood or otherwise.
Happy first year of life, Nephew. You are
a constant breath of fresh air to my days,
and your innocent ways touch me deeply.
I am always thankful for the simple joy
you bring, sometimes, by just sharing
a smile and gurgly laughter with me.
Most of all, I am thankful that you
make my Abang and Salina, and my
own parents, so incredibly happy.
I will come to teach and do a lot of
things for you throughout your life,
for which you will be thankful for.
But if you ever get a chance to read
this when you are older, know that
I am forever indebted to you simply
because of how you make our parents
feel when they are around you.
There is a lot of love in you, Elyas.
Let it always be there.
We released Wishing Lanterns tonight
in celebration of his one year milestone.
Many more to come, IA.
Maksu loves you, big boy xx
