Mankirat Singh
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow over the world, Sukhi and I stood hand in hand in our backyard, surrounded by the soft glow of fairy lights and the gentle rustle of leaves in the evening breeze. Tonight was special—it marked not only our two-year anniversary as husband and wife but also our daughter Hoor's first birthday.
As we mingled with our closest friends and family, laughter and chatter filling the air, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude wash over me for the love and happiness that surrounded us. Sukhi looked radiant, her smile lighting up the night as she greeted our guests with warmth and grace, while Hoor, dressed in a tiny pink dress, giggled and cooed in her grandmother's arms.
As the evening wore on, we gathered around the table to enjoy a feast of delicious food and decadent desserts, each dish a testament to the love and care that had gone into its preparation. There were speeches and toasts, laughter and tears, as we reminisced about the past two years and looked forward to the adventures that lay ahead.
And then, as the clock struck midnight, we gathered around Hoor's high chair to sing Happy Birthday and watch as she smashed her tiny hands into her birthday cake, her face lighting up with delight at the sugary sweetness beneath her fingers. It was a moment of pure joy, a celebration of life and love and the incredible journey we had undertaken together as a family.
As Sukhi and I exchanged a glance across the table, our eyes filled with love and gratitude, I knew that this was just the beginning of our story. With each passing year, our love would deepen, our family would grow, and our bonds would only strengthen. And as we stood together beneath the starry sky, surrounded by the people we loved most in the world, I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace settle over me, knowing that no matter what the future held, we would face it together, hand in hand, united in our love and our shared commitment to each other and our precious daughter, Hoor.
