Michel turns 40 today…
I had so much planned for his 40th birthday…wanted it to be memorable., with people who love and care around…after all it’s not everyday that you turn 40!
But today I am grateful to each and everyone who held our backs…my family, my friends, his friends, strangers… the Doctors, Nurses both at the Jeetoo hospital Neuro ICU and Wellkin Clinic.
I remain grateful to you all as each day is a fight and if you have no one to hold your back it’s very difficult to move forward. Help came in many ways…surprised me., brought me to tears., gave me hope…hope for humanity..hope for us. Prayers in temples, churches, mosques, pagodas, kovils, Assembly of God, Universal Church…more places I have no idea of…everywhere people have prayed for him..for us.. and we still need your prayers..we still do.
Some in person, some through messages… If Michel is here today it can only be because his friends, my friends, my family and the strangers who heard about him came together to pray for the amazing person he is. Till date some people are still asking what happened…
Nothing has been easy…I can still clearly feel the distress of the first day, the shock, pain and so but I can go on…thanks to you all.
To Michel I say this everyday:
Some want a palace…
I dream of a home., where we can all be happy and back together with Jaguar…
Some want a diamond ring…
I just want him to hold my hand., like you have been doing for years now…
Some want a crown…
I only need a flower in my hair., like the one you brought for me before we got married.
Some want to dine in lavish restaurants…
I want to eat Halim on the streets., like we used to at Rose Hill.
Some want first rows to expensive concerts…
I want to listen to the rain sitting on the porch or inside like we did at Andreas Lodge…the wind blowing and rain splashing on the glass panes while we chatted away till the am.
Some want a king size bed…
I just need your arms., like you have kept me warm on cold nights.
Some want river of pearls…
I only need your embrace., like you’ve held me each time I felt down.
All I need is him..back from the limbo he is stuck in., back to tell the world he remains who he has always been.. A FIGHTER!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHEL… 40 is a milestone… so is 50 😉 I want to see you run to it…and you will!
The best husband, dad and best friend I could ask for…
This is life, life’s little things…
