It was in summer. July, 17th, 1998. I was waiting for him since so long! My wife and I have decided to call him Peter. Our little boy! He was so cute. He was already smiling... When I saw him on my wife's chest, when I heard his voice for the first time, I felt so proud!
He were our first child. I couldn't imagine he wore an another name. Peter. My grand-father was called Peter. Unfortunately he died when I was young and I didn't know so much about him. When we've known it would be a little boy, my wife asked me for a list of a few firstnames. I've found one. The one.
I still remember when I took him in my arms. He were so frail! My was looking at me, smiling, while I was giving him the bottle for the first time. I felt so happy.
I was so moved... For two weeks, I was always crying. Tears of happiness, tears of emotion. I was wondering if I would be a good father. I was wondering if I would always find the right words for him, if I would be able to show him all the love I had...
All these questions every parents ask themselves... No need. We're humans; To have children, to love them, to do all our possible for their happiness... That is in our genes. We don't need to read books. Just old your child in your arms. The first time, you will know...
I even remember the song at the radio when I came back home, late in the night. (Cinderella, by Martinelli, 1985)
"(Cinderella, by Martinelli, 1985)"
Till this day, my eyes are strangely brimming with tears each time I hear this song... I know it's really kitsch but i just can't help myself!
Of course, Peter is as beautiful as his parents!
My dear Peter, my wonderful son, never forget it : We love you so much! You will enter upper-secondary school soon. You're a young man now...
But I will never forget the first time we met...
With all my love...

@ Chandramathi: Do you mean that my text has reminded your son? I think we all love our children the same way... We all share the same feelings, the same emotions... We can't for forget them...Thanks for your comment...
Hai Oliver...u remained me my own son.......
Dear Shabeen, thak you for your comment. I wish you a lot of happiness...
I apologize... I didn't want to make you cry.
I am so that it is difficult for me to express my emotions. It's easier to write me my emotions, my feelings. With writing, I can choose the real words, the good words. Those who come from my heart.
Thank you for your your sweet comment...
