This Summer

I was scared for the summer. Rajvir was out of school and EIBI program. It was his first time to go to any summer camp. How is he going to cope with all the changes? Without having any reliable means of communication, how are new people going to understand him? There were so many questions in my mind. I was crossing my fingers for everything to go right, and it did.

This was the first summer that we both enjoyed together. He enjoyed every moment he spent in the day camp. He has started to sleep a lot better, and on top of that, he is staying in his own bed. I am finally getting my sleep after almost six years. This summer has really been awesome!! I hope it just keep going like this.

Piece of My Heart

I thought I was teaching you
I thought I was guiding you
Holding your hand, giving directions, walking our journey together
Didn’t realize when you took the lead
We skipped, smiled, giggled, and ran
Looking at each other, smiling at each other
You gently pulled me to a different direction, a better direction
You knew better
And I thought I was teaching you
I thought I was guiding you.

I thought I was the provider, the protector
It was my job to keep you under my wings,
To feed you, love you and keep you safe
Didn’t realize you were rescuing me all along
You were and are making me stronger every moment
You need no words; your eyes say it all
You are always there to give me a hand
Whenever I trip and fall
You are there to point out the bigger goals
When I cry over petty things
And I thought I was the guardian, the shield
That was there to keep you safe.

I thought I was supporting you
Making your life fun and meaningful
But, my dear, it is YOU.
You make me feel loved
You make me feel valuable
You give a meaning to my life
You are my supporter, protector and my guardian angel
I need you to live, to laugh, to breathe and to survive
You mean everything to me
You are a piece of my heart
Yes, you are
A piece of my heart!
