FROM AFAR, WITH LOVE
Watching you grow… through a screen, miles away — smiling like a proud uncle who hasn’t even had the honor of holding you yet.
That’s the strange magic of you, Yuvee.
I’ve seen you in videos that end too quickly.
In pictures I stare at a little longer than I should.
In the way your dad — my Malli — looks at you… like the world finally made sense.
You feel close… even from afar.
Because your mom — she doesn’t just share videos.
She shares pieces of love.
Every clip. Every photo.
A small window into your world.
And I keep thinking…
One day, I’ll meet you.
Not on a screen. Not through a call.
For real.
I’ll hear your laughter without speakers.
See you run without buffering.
And maybe — if you allow it —
I’ll carry you for a few steps…
before you decide you’re too fast for me.
Until then,
I’ll stay right here… watching, waiting, smiling.
Growing fond of a little boy I haven’t met yet — but already feel like I know.
Grow strong. Stay joyful.
Happy 2nd Birthday, Yuvee.
