Ehud,
Boss, the letters exchanged between us
will be more than a foot tall, when piled up...
A few years ago, I would have wanted more
than being at home, cooking food, making babies, and being
a wife to my man. If I had met you then, I would have critically
analyzed the package you are offering and said, "Well,
thank you, but I am looking for something else." A
few years ago, you too would have been in a different set
of circumstances, managing a life, a stressful business,
and living through a marriage that shook with every jerk.
You wouldn't have been what you are now like I wouldn't
have been what I am now.
Timing is important in life. And every
event occurs precisely when it has to. I never regret that
I did not meet you earlier. Rather, I am quite happy and
thankful to God that I have met you now, and that we have
a future together. It is true also that we will be taking
on the role of parenting quite late in life-so what? We
are both ready and prepared for this, in our minds-and the
body simply must obey the commands of the mind...
Love,
Vatsala
