Rohini Samantaray Dear Rish*ta,
Happy 12th birthday! Time seems to be flying by, and you are growing up so fast. You oozed sweetness and cuteness at an early age, and I wish I could bottle it up, so we never have to say goodbye! Your childhood has been such a joy, and I look forward to watching you grow into the beautiful young lady I know you will be. I love you so much!
I am so proud of who you are and who you will become. Your kindness, great heart, and loving spirit make you gorgeous inside-out. Above all that, I am so lucky to be your mom!
You are now going ahead in your life and taking a step into the teenage years which can be confusing at times. But all I would like you to know is that I am there for you, as a mother and as a friend so you can reach out to me first when in need. You will now have a lot going on in your life with little time to spend with your parents but we will still be holding your back at every step in life.
I love how incredibly passionate you are about horses. I watch you proudly every single day as you do little things with big efforts that you think nobody notices. And I want you to know that you should never stop doing what makes your heart happy.
If this is what you see yourself doing – go ahead and do it! If you want to find a passion that allows you to keep showcasing your kind nature for horses & love for riding, you have my blessing.
It makes me feel so proud today to see you standing in front of me as a confident young girl right on the threshold of an exciting journey through life. I am looking forward to seeing you grow and flourish in the years ahead.
You are truly a gem and I’m so proud to call you my girl & I hope you know that I love you from the bottom of my heart. Whichever thing you end up pursuing, my support is unwavering.
Through life, we all make mistakes. No matter how genuine, hard-working, and kind we are. It’s okay to slip up – it happens to everyone.
But in your times of struggle, here’s what you should know: What you say during your weakest moments will remain in the other person’s head for a long time.
Be careful what you allow yourself to say. Words have the power to break a person. So please, just be kind to everyone no matter how rude they might be.
Bringing others down will bring you no joy. Find the strength within to walk away from anything that’s counter-productive to your well-being.
Keep shining that beautiful light of yours, and I’ll always be watching proudly knowing I’ve done something right.
Love you always and forever,
Mom
