"A Birthday to remember"

Every year, Grandma Lila celebrates her birthday with her two favorite things—her garden and her mischievous cat, Momo. This year, as she sits with a cake glowing in the candlelight, Momo perches on her shoulder, eagerly eyeing the frosting. The flowers behind her sway gently, as if they, too, are celebrating.

For Lila, birthdays are not about grand parties but about quiet moments filled with love—the warmth of her plants, the company of her furry companion, and the simple joy of another year well-lived.
