Pramudya, our dear Son...Your FIRST BIRTHDAY now has begun...
And starting from now on, yearly period is what you will count...
There’s a song called Seasons Of Love to count a year...
The song goes like this, we hope someday you’d like to hear...
--- Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundreds minutes...
--- Five hundred twenty five thousand moments so dear...
--- Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundreds minutes...
--- How do you measure a year...?
--- In Daylights... In Sunsets... In Midnights... In Cups of Coffee...?
--- In Inches... In Miles... In Laughter... In Striving...?
--- Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundreds minutes...
--- How do you measure a year in Life...?
Few hours before midnight a year ago...
Both of us were very much surprised of what we’re about to go...
The doctor said the water had been broken, but we didn’t even know...
Of course we were shocked and amazed...
Your schedule was not due until the next month, but an urgent labor was what we faced...
We still had a chance to talk about our contradictive feelings of fear and joy in “Hot Planet” and had our big supper...
We confirmed ourselves that the next day we would have you, and it’s no good to fight these feelings any longer...
Feeling a bit easy and relaxed for the moment, we went back to YPK the hospital where you Mom spent the night over...
And your Dad went home alone...
In the wee small hour hours of the morning, driving, feeling the stomach crunching to the bone...
The next morning a year ago...Your Mom got the Cesar procedure on the show...
Your Dad got his heart pounding so fast like it’s ready to blow...
Today a year ago...
You were born as one true MIRACLE that your Mam and Dad were very much grateful to know...
And then the song goes like this...
--- Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundreds minutes...
--- How do you measure a year in Life...?
--- How about LOVE...
We love you, our dear Pram...
And around this time a year later...and for many each year to come...
Our love will remain for you...for ever...for all time...
