Dear Navin,
On this holy day we celebrate the birth of the outstanding son who became the father of a nation.
Everyday when I observe the son of the father of our nation speak to his children straight from and with all his heart, my heart goes out to him for all he is to the great nation he represents.
Indeed, in my heart, mind and soul, you have been such an exceptional father, capable of uniting such diverse children through such an outflow of love and genuine affection that, today, we view your father as the grand father of the nation and you as the most caring father of us all!
Thank you Grand father! Thank you father!
Shortly after Americans elected Barack Obama as President in November 2008, I wrote on my blog:
“…how big a player does our Prime Minister deserve to be on the world scene? God knows best. And I trust that God will thrust Navin on the International stage to help the US urgently establish better relations with the world community.”
Some time ago, you reminded us, Navin that an American ambassador had once told your dad that Mauritius was more difficult to govern than the US.
Having lived both in the US and Mauritius, I believe that American ambassador was correct.
Therefore I know that the success and example you have set as the present day father of our great nation places you as the most outstanding world leader of our times!
It is with that respectful appreciation in mind that my prayers accompany you and I wish you a most successful meeting with President Obama on September 22, 2009.
I am confident that the whole world will be a better place because and after your meeting.
Proud to be one of your Mauritian children, I say: “Go for it Dad”!
Bon Voyage,
Most sincerely,
Louis.
