Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

Rai, we're not the only ones who have seen their lives change so much as a result of your arrival. Your grandparents, too, have seen their lives transformed. You have been an amazing gift for all of us.
Today was your Grandpa's birthday. After our walk in the hills, we spent the evening with your grandparents.
Preparing for this special visit, you had a very hard time deciding what you could wear for such an important occasion. For the longest time, you just lay around in your underwear, planning your outfit. Not to worry, son, we've all been there. Finally, you came up with the perfect outfit: something that says formal and casual at the same time. Is that possible? It is if you have an outfit with a tie sewed on to it!
The outfit, as predicted, was a hit with your grandparents. But, celebrating your Grandpa's birthday would require some kind of gift too, wouldn't it and here you were, empty-handed. With utmost sincerity and love, your Grandpa told you and us that seeing and holding you was the best birthday gift he has ever received. So, on his birthday, we all received wonderful gifts. He had an evening with you. You had an evening showered with kisses and hugs. And we got to see the joy in your grandparents' eyes.
