The first time I saw you Wow Dinga, Ms Papaya & Po #WritingBravely
My dear Wow Dinga, Papaya and Po,
Today I would like to share some thoughts with you even though none of you can read a word . But I’m writing this while I can still remember what I felt the first time I saw you.
Wow Dinga you are my first grandchild. I was so excited about becoming a grandmother that I could hardly sleep the night before you were born.
You were born by elective C section and came out in just 10 minutes. Every one said you looked like your Abu but since I had never seen him crumpled and swaddled in green I can only remember that you looked like you.
The first time I saw you my heart just went thump.
I first saw you Ms Papaya when you were all of two months. You stared at me unblinkingly from your baby carrier as we met for the very first time . You had had a long flight from Korea but you looked fresh as a daisy.
The first time I saw you my heart went thump ,thump.
And you Little Po were the tiniest of all. In a hurry to come out when you were still small. I remember you all red and crinkly no bigger than the chicken I normally order for my Christmas Roast.
The first time I saw you my heart went thumpity, thumpity, thump
Each one of you evoked in me, a feeling of awe and wonder.
Were you really the babies of my babies?
- Would I be able to hold you?
- Will I be able to change your nappies and give you a bath?
- Will I be able to validate the trust and faith in me ?
- Will I have the answers to your million questions?
- Will I have the patience to deal with your tantrums and irrational behaviour?
As these questions crossed my mind I had only one desire to give you one huge big, squeeze, cuddle.
Lots and lots of love forever and ever and ever

Thanks for visiting and thanks for your blessings. I am indeed lucky to enjoy my grandchildren
Aww, so sweet! I hope you get a good visit with them soon. I know that time is precious.
I see my grandsons every other day as they live across the street . I FT with Ms Papaya every day and will be visiting in September!

I hope so . My daughter had a delightful nickname till she got married and I’m now the only one who calls her so…..
What a lovely letter to the grandchildren. I am sure when they grow up a little bit, they would love their Nani’s thumpity, thumpity, thump. These words remind me of a book for them – Bumpus, Jumpus, Dinosaur Rumpus. They are going to love listening to the various sounds in this book.

Thanks for your appreciative words. Truly my heart thumps overtime and I feel warm and fuzzy feeling when I think of them
You are one rocking grandma, dear BellyBites 🙂 I’m sure you’d be able to do all that and much more with the babies of your babies.

Thanks Shalini. You really are a morale booster
Aww! This is the sweetest and the most cutest letter I have read today. I would love to see pics of Wow Dinga, Ms Papaya & Po. And I am sure there are some amazing stories behind their names. Right?!

You bet ! Will share them with you privately once I get home and on my Desk top
Maybe when I get to the grandchildren I will be more happy. A baby without any pain and endless feeding will be delightful.
Hope wow Dinga. Ms. Papaya and Little Po (i love him already) read this in the future.

Hey ! You seem quite happy to me now Lata. Perhaps you will be happier as a granny because you can send the children home 😉
Wow ….. Loved your letter filled with love and laughter. Sure they would love this when they grow up. Grandchildren are always a treasure in our life.
