Life has a way of throwing unexpected curveballs, often forcing us to abandon the plans we meticulously charted for our own betterment. We had envisioned a different path, one where our dreams seamlessly aligned with reality. However, the universe had different intentions for us. We had to navigate through the storm, holding onto the belief that there was a greater purpose to this tumultuous journey. In Vadodara, we sought to establish a sense of normalcy amidst the upheaval. We enrolled my son in a local school, ensuring that his education continued uninterrupted. I, too, returned to the teaching job I held before 2018—an occupation that brought me immense joy and fulfillment. Teaching had always held a special place in my heart, and it provided a semblance of stability and purpose during these uncertain times. Amidst the challenges, my son continued to face physical struggles resulting from the accident. I had worried about his growth and well-being, but his resilience shone through. Although he still grappled with physical limitations, his inner strength remained unyielding. He possessed unwavering determination and harbored great ambitions for his future. With clarity and conviction, he knew exactly who he wanted to become and where he aimed to be in life. As my husband resided in Qatar, and my son and I carried on in Vadodara, we clung to the flickering flame of hope. We held tight to the love that bound us together, confident that this separation was but a temporary interlude in the grand Page 51 of 53
symphony of our lives. We drew strength from the belief that the universe had something extraordinary in store for our family. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, as my son pursued his studies in Vadodara. He progressed through the 12th grade in 2023, edging closer to the culmination of his matriculation in 2024. With each passing day, his dreams beckoned, and soon he would embark on the path toward his desired ambition. Though the future remained uncertain, we clung to our dreams and aspirations, steadfast in the belief that the bumpy roads we traversed would lead us to a brighter destination. Life, with all its trials and tribulations, teaches us invaluable lessons. It reminds us that the path to success is rarely smooth, that struggle often precedes triumph. It challenges us to delve deep within ourselves, unearthing hidden reservoirs of strength and resilience we never knew existed. Though our journey may be marked by bumps and hurdles, we refuse to succumb to despair. We embrace the unwavering hope that resides within us, knowing that even in the darkest tunnels, there is always a flicker of light at the end. This light guides us, urging us to press forward, reminding us that the road may be arduous, but the rewards at its conclusion are worth the sacrifices made along the way. Page 52 of 53

We remain steadfast, knowing that the almighty, in their infinite wisdom, has a plan for our family—a plan that will ultimately lead us to a place of joy, fulfillment, and contentment. Page 53 of 53
