Since you are a fan of Numerology and other such sciences, Number 55 represents Independence and Exploration. As if the roller-coaster, adventure of 32 (+7) years out of 55 was not enough of an exploration. 55 is related to positive change, fresh starts, new life adventures, personal growth, spiritual growth, and life lessons that will lead you in a new and exciting direction.
Anyway, I am so glad I entered into your life, of course admitted by you, informally 39 summers ago (and formally 32), which means >71% of your life so far. What a co-passenger you have been in this journey. I am blessed indeed that Divine chose to let go and walk the planet during my time and WITH ME.
Happy 55th birthday! I can’t believe it’s been 55 years since you were born. It feels like just yesterday we were young and in love, starting our lives together. We’ve laughed together, cried together, and supported each (more of you supporting) other through thick and thin. You’re my best friend and a lovely mother to Divya and Vishnu.
However the biggest welcome change this birthday apart from being an year older, is promotion to being a Granny. An addition that makes the birthday even more special for sure.
I’m so proud of everything you’ve accomplished in your life. With all the challenges (taking care of pregnant Divya, then seeing through her birthing Anay and then post natal care and taking care of everything else and to complete two professional degrees is not what a normal human can do. You’re an inspiration to me and to everyone who knows you.
I can’t wait to see what the next 55 years bring for us. I know that as long as we’re together, anything is possible. We’ve been together for 32 years now, and I’m still feel as close to you as I was on the day we met.
As anyone who knows her would vouch, Aparna is the most caring and compassionate person, friendly but firm and always there, no matter what. She is our rock, and we all know that we can always count on her.
She is also the funniest person I know. She always knows how to make me laugh, even when I’m feeling down(when she begins to talk about Astrology). This is what she claims as having a way of making me see the lighter side of life, even in the darkest of times.
Now for the Gift
Someone just told me that since you are completing 55 years, the gift should be Emerald (Green). I thought, why not. You deserve much more than that. So here is a Gold ring with embedded Diamond & Emerald gem, especially for you.
I looked for Bahia Emerald, the largest block of emerald crystals discovered in Bahia, Brazil which has a purity of 1,700,000 carats and worth >$400 million dollars (measly value compared to you). But I was told it is cursed one and lot of disasters happened. So dropped it (you already are married to one).
“Happy Birthday dearest Aparna”
someone who make even 55 look fabulous.
May God Bless you with Loads and loads of Happiness, Health and Prosperity.
And here is my Customary Song Dedication
Since the accent is not so easy to follow, here are the lyrics, So very True, Isn’t it?
Car door slams, it’s been a long day at work
I’m out on the freeway and I’m wondering if it’s all worth
The price that I pay, sometimes it doesn’t seem fair
I pull into the drive and you’re standing there
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It’s all gonna be alright
You take my hand
You pull me close and you hold me tight
And it’s the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
‘Cause when it all comes down
And I’m feeling like I’ll never last
I just lean on you ’cause baby
You’re my better half
They say behind every man is a good woman
But I think that’s a lie
‘Cause when it comes to you I’d rather have you by my side
You don’t know how much I count you to help me
When I’ve given everything I got and I just feel like giving in
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It’s all gonna be alright
You take my hand
Yeah you pull me close and you hold me tight
And it’s the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
‘Cause when it all comes down
And I’m feeling like I’ll never last
I just lean on you ’cause baby
You’re my better half
Well, you take my hand
Yeah you pull me close and I understand
It’s the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe that we can make it through anything
Oh baby, it’s the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
‘Cause when it all comes down
And I’m feeling like I’ll never last
I just lean on you ’cause baby
You’re my better half
Oh, oh baby you’re my better half
Oh, hey baby you’re my better half
