Love travels across the ocean!

gift to usa

Since she was a young girl, all she knew was that she wanted to live in California. The fast paced city had always motivated her to work harder in life. Whether it was school or for graduation, or even when she was preparing for her LSATs.

But the day she received email of her acceptance in the prestigious university, she knew she had to endure the heartbreak of moving away from her parents. Standing at the entrance of airport, Ayesha tried her best to not cry. With a wave every now and then, she convinced herself she would be back soon.

Settling down in a new city had taken out the fun of planning her birthday. It was her 21st birthday and it had to be special. While looking at the clock, she realized it was her first birthday without her parents or friends. With a sigh, she went out for a quite dinner with her friends. She didn’t know that having to celebrate her birthday without her parents would leave her feeling alone. Ayesha decided to call her parents, but the time difference had contributed to the misery. Her birthday had just started but she still missed her mom’s voice wishing her a happy birthday.

With a heavy heart, she went back to her apartment only to find her a box that shouted love. She quickly opened it and found an engraved photo frame of her and her parents. She was surprised to find the gift knowing how her parents weren’t tech-savvy. Every time they had to send gifts to USA to their relatives or wish them by sending birthday gifts to USA, they had always relied on Ayesha.

But this had left her with a new-found confidence knowing she could now rest easy as her parents were now independent. Every time there would be some important occasion to be celebrated, she knew that she wouldn’t truly be alone because her parents would always send her a memory or other all the way from India.
