A letter to my elder son on his 18th birthday

Dear Praneh,
As you are turning 18 today,
I wish a lot many things...
Sometimes, I wish, you were still small,
Not so big and strong and tall,
'Cause when I think of yesterday,
I close my eyes and I still see you play,
I often miss my little boy, 
Who sometimes pestered me to buy a toy,
Who filled my days with pure delight,
From early morning to late night,
Today too dear, I am proud of you,
For all the thoughtful things you do,
I love you no matter what you do,
I may not like it, 
We may argue and disagree but,
I'll love you till my days are done,
And yeah.! I am so grateful that you are my son....
Now today on your 18th Birthday,
I wish you the strength to face challanges with confidence,
Along with the wisdom to choose your battles carefully,
I wish you the adventure on your journey..
But still the tenderness to stop,
To help someone along the way..
Listen to your heart and take risks carefully...
Always remember how much you are loved...
And we all are proud of you betu...
Many happy returns of the day and a great birthday Praneh.... 
😘💋
