Betterlife with Steem || The Diary Game (28-12-2023) |A Day of Surprises: Gifting Ammu Joy on the New Year.

The day unfolded with a subtle excitement, as I woke up with a special plan in mind for my dear Ammu. Engaging in my routine motherly duties, I ensured my daughter started her day with a delightful breakfast. Though I usually fed her, today she expressed a desire to eat on her own—a messy but endearing venture into independence. After the breakfast learning session, I settled for a light morning meal—a boiled egg, a biscuit, and a cup of strong tea.

The day continued with the familiar rhythms of motherhood, including the challenges of giving my daughter a bath in the chilly winter season. Navigating through these routines, I then headed to the kitchen to prepare a heartwarming lunch of " Mixed vegetable Bhaji" and " Rui fish Vuna." The daily prayer followed, anchoring me in moments of reflection and gratitude.

As the day progressed, the routine naptime for my baby provided a brief respite, a cherished tradition since her early days. Later in the evening, my husband and I had something special planned. I had long contemplated buying a new mobile phone for Ammu, as her current one had seen better days. With a simple phone in mind, offering a moderate camera, good sound quality, and basic social media access, we set out for Bashundhara City Complex.

Among the myriad of mobile shops, we found ourselves at the OPPO showroom. The Oppo A18, in radiant color, perfectly matched my choice and budget. Excitement filled the air as we envisioned the surprise awaiting Ammu. To savor the anticipation, we sat at a nearby restaurant, where I took a moment to explore the smooth and light functionality of the chosen phone.

Snacks enjoyed, we made our way to Ammu's place to unveil the New Year surprise. As I handed her the Oppo A18, her face lit up like a twinkling star. The unexpected joy reflected in her eyes was more precious than any extravagant gift. In that moment, I realized that making Ammu happy within my means was a blessing in itself, and her contentment was a divine affirmation. Alhamdulillah, for a day woven with love, surprises, and the enduring joy of family.

I couldn't help but notice that my dear Ammu needed a new phone, and so, I decided to seize every good occasion to bring a smile to her face. Despite the modest nature of the gift – a budget-friendly Android phone – its significance resonated deeply with me. The joy I anticipated on my Ammu's face was not contingent on the price tag; rather, it became a matter of making her happy within the confines of my own limits. Witnessing her happy face, a true blessing from Allah, became more than enough for me, emphasizing the profound value of heartfelt gestures over extravagant offerings.
