Today, December 31st, is my birthday. It's incredible to think that God chose such a special day for me to enter the world – New Year's Eve. I would have been just hours old when the world erupted in celebration, welcoming the new year with fireworks and wishes.
I can only imagine the circumstances of my birth. My father was stationed in Guwahati at the time and couldn't be present. He arrived a week later. Sadly, both my grandfathers had passed away a year prior. I was the eldest on both my paternal and maternal sides. My mother, being the firstborn, and my father, the eldest surviving child, had prayed fervently for me. While they may have preferred a son, they were undoubtedly overjoyed to have a child after six years of marriage.
I have many brothers on both sides of my family, but few sisters. I often wish I had a cousin sister my age, someone to confide in and share my feelings with. Seeing my mother and aunt bond over their childhood memories, I long for the sisterly connection they share. Instead, I rely on my school and college friends for companionship and support.
I'm grateful to God for blessing me with such an unique birthday. It’s a day of celebration for everyone, regardless of their feelings towards me, whether they like me or not. Thank you God.
