Darling Son Shezard, I know you still won’t be able to read this for a couple of more years, but I wanted to write you a Happy Birthday message on your 7th birthday anyway. Since your Mum and I found out we were having you, back in April 2007.You came in to our world with tears of happiness though immature in birth you weighed only one kilogram, you were very much large than my palm in size. It was with desperation and will power I forged ahead in courage with Allah blessings for your well being. The rest of the world has had access to virtually every moment of your process of growing up, but the words were mainly written for the rest of the world. However, this is just for you. I’ve never written directly to you, until now, on your 7th birthday. This day is especially monumental for me. It signifies you officially leaving the days of being a baby and entering the days of being a little boy.”Right now as I look at your picture it reminds me of those younger days when you were a little baby. I am so proud of you and love you so much that… it comes out in the form of sadness, somehow. Everybody told me not to rush any stage of your life. I tried not to Of course, the younger you were, the more difficult being a dad was. I was so clueless, even a year ago. I’ll never forget when you turned 15 months old. That was the first time you really asked for me. That was the first time you wouldn’t cry if Mum left the room as you had me in your comfort. Since then, I could tell so obviously that you wanted me and that you loved me. So while I’ll try not to rush your life along too quickly, I have to admit, I love seeing you grow up. The older you get and the more you come to life, the stronger of a connection I feel with you. I’m pretty sure it’s a father/son thing. I love taking way too many pictures of you. I love writing about all the funny things you do and say. I love you, son!!! With all my heart. So much though you probably never see me cry, if you could be here right now as I write this, you would see a 50-year-old man who can barely keep himself together. It’s funny- I didnt cry a single tear the night you were born. You were just a strange baby who couldnt talk. My job at that point was basically just to keep you alive. I fought courage and with Allah blessings today you are a healthy son of my life. But today, I can’t hold back the tears for anything. This is the first time I’ve simply been overwhelmed by my love for you. What most fathers seem to experience the day their son is born, I guess I’m experiencing right now. To me, this is you being born. Thank you for being my son. I can’t thank Allah enough for you. Today you will receive gifts from mum and me. But eventually, they’ll be at the bottom of some drawer. What I will remember most about your birthday is the way I feel about you right now. And that’s why I’m writing you this letter. I want to be able to capture what I’m feeling right now. That’s what I think is the best gift I can give you today. Maybe it’s a dad thing, or maybe it’s just me, but in the likeness of a learning curve, I have had a “loving curve” with you.Seven years into this, I am experiencing love for you that I have never felt for anyone in my life. The love I have for you is wrapped up in some unspoken bond I can’t quite express in words right now. But I promise you I will spend the rest of my life trying to.Shazard, loving called by dad as Shez in times you will mature to be a good boy, a great gentleman. Tears well in my eyes!! Tears of sadness, happiness, and true love. I love you with all my heart you have brought joy to me and mum am sure at years go by you mature to a fine young man, Many Happy Returns of the Day Son, May Allah shower you all his blessings upon you for good health and happiness forever.Love DAD FARLO
