A Letter to Azel

Uncle Doddy Prince here, the one you’ve given the special name to,
The name that you sometimes cry out when things don’t go as planned.
I hope you’re shining bright and discovering new adventures every day.
I’m curious if your pronunciation has grown as much as you have,
And I wonder if you’ve mastered the art of distinguishing left from right,
Ensuring your shoes always find their proper fit.

I hope you’ve been counting your way through laughter and play,
From one to twenty, learning and growing with each step.
Hey there, little buddy,

It’s been a while, and oh, how my heart aches to be near you.
I yearn to witness the inches you’ve added to your height,
And I dream of strolling alongside you, exploring the world’s delights.
You always bring me joy, especially when you struggle with words,
Your determination to convey your thoughts, a testament to your spirit.
And the way you identify white cars as “Babus” and grey ones as “Peters” –
It’s these quirks that make you uniquely you, and my heart swells with affection.

Buddy, you are a source of endless happiness,
Your infectious smile etches memories in my heart that never fade.
You and Haven are the stars that light up our family’s sky,
A duo that brings immeasurable joy and a touch of magic to our lives.

Guess what? I’ve heard the news, a big day’s coming your way –
Turning four is a milestone that’s worth celebrating with glee!
And guess what else? I’ve got your back, just like always,
A gift awaits, “white specs” and stylish outfits, the perfect ensemble for you.

Sending love your way, little buddy,
Can’t wait to see you, to share in the laughter and joy.
Counting down the days until we meet again,
Keep shining, keep exploring, keep being the amazing you.

Until we meet, take care and know you’re cherished,
Uncle Doddy Prince.
