Becky’s birthday!! And there I was 320 kilometers away and all alone at home when i should have been standing at her doorstep with flowers and gifts and whisked her away for lunch, a movie and more!! But God made the day reallllly special.
At the stroke of midnight we were on the phone and I wished her and then sang a song I’d written for her! She loved it. She went to work in the morning and then went home to spend the evening with Appa and Amma. I’d couriered some gifts to her and my parents had bought some cake etc. I loved the way she sounded so excited over the phone. They went shopping and bought her a skirt and top. Appa made sure I didnt miss any of the excitement and sent me photographs almost as soon as they were taken! They finally dropped her off at home – and we were all so happy and excited….. me in Trichy and Becky, Appa and Amma at chennai.
And the most special part of the day? I had to go to St. Joseph College (where Becky and I had met for the first time) I managed to sneak into the room where we first chatted, call up Becky and tell her something special…… it felt awesome!
We spoke late into the night and even though we were so far apart, for me…. it felt like I was with her the whole day!!
Thank ya God!!!
