Happy 5th Birthday, My Son

Five years of pure joy, endless wonder, and a lifetime of love. Happy Birthday, my son!

Today marks five incredible years since you came into my world, son.

The moment I heard your first cry, it was as if a new chapter had opened, one that I never wanted to put down.

You were so small, wrapped snugly in that soft blanket, looking up at me with those curious eyes.

I remember marveling at your tiny fingers and toes, each one perfect and delicate. In that instant, I realized I would do anything to protect you, to make you smile, and to give you all the love I had to offer.

Since then, every single day with you has been a new adventure.

Watching you grow from that tiny newborn into the vibrant, curious, and joyful five-year-old you are now has been the greatest journey of my life.

Each milestone you reached filled me with pride—the first time you laughed, the day you took your first wobbly steps, the first words you spoke. Each one of those moments felt like a precious gift.

You have a unique way of brightening every room you walk into, filling it with laughter and energy. Your curiosity about the world amazes me, and I love watching you discover new things. You ask endless questions, and each one reminds me of just how much there is for you to explore and learn.

Watching you experience life has given me a renewed appreciation for the little things. You have taught me to slow down and see the world through your eyes—where everything is new, and each moment is filled with wonder.

It hasn’t always been easy, of course. We’ve had our fair share of sleepless nights, messy moments, and tantrums over the years.

But through it all, I’ve learned so much from you—about patience, kindness, and the pure, unconditional love that only a child can bring. You’ve made me a better person, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.

As you turn five today, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions. Part of me wants to keep you this age forever, to hold on to the giggles, the bedtime stories, and the little hugs you give so freely.

But another part of me is excited to see the amazing person you are becoming. I know you have so much ahead of you, so many dreams to chase and stories to create.

So here’s to you, my dear son, on your fifth birthday. Thank you for bringing so much happiness into my life. Thank you for teaching me how to love more deeply and to live more fully. I’m excited to see what the future holds for you, and I promise to be here every step of the way, cheering you on.

Happy birthday, my sweet boy. Here’s to many more years of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

The Truth is, You Don’t Need Closure

Cut ties and move on without glancing back… Image via Unsplash What did I do? What did I say? What could I have done differently? Is there someone else? Can we still be friends? Can we fix this? We torture ourselves with questions when a relationship ends. We want to know the answers. We want to know why. We want to make sense of what we don’t understand. Yes, closure can help. It can bridge the gap between confusion and heartbreak. It guides us to accept the loss and find the strength to look ahead. With closure, we realize there is no turning back. There are no what-ifs. No second chance. The other person has made up their mind for the reason of x, y, and z. As much as it hurts, closure can help us turn the page and start a new chapter. But what happens if you don’t get closure? What do you do when your ex won’t communicate or has abruptly ended all contact with you? Just one day, poof — they're gone. Or your relationship ended on bad terms. You saw it coming. You knew the brea
