As a young boy I learned there are more worlds than the one we live in…seeking…waiting…to be known. I learned how we are all connected to the cosmos and to each other as we travel on this journey together called life – a journey of self discovery and the discovery of others.
I would not be the man I am today traveling on this grand journey it was not for you mum. You gave me the greatest gift a son can ever ask for. You gave me the heavens to explore and wonder. You gave me the freedom to create and choose my own path. You let me grow and make my own mistakes to learn from…and become a better person because of it. You let me find my own way.
A son’s love for their mother spans across all of time and space, to the very corners of reality itself. I cannot imagine this universe or any other where I did not have you as my mum. This is my gift to you, a reminder, a map of the observable universe inside a sphere where every dot is a galaxy, a universe of it own. A reminder of your son’s journey on Earth from baby to adulthood in a cosmic playground of never ending awe, joy and beauty.
I love you mum to the stars and beyond. Thank you for letting me be the little boy I use to be, for letting my imagination and curiosity run wild. More importantly thank you for bringing me into this world, this tiny little pale blue dot among the immensity of the heavens.
Happy Birthday to the best mum in the multiverse!
Your one and only son,
Imran
