Last year, she had woken up to the delightful aroma of baking. "Mom, are you making my birthday cake again?" she had asked. Her mother had smiled brightly, her hands busy mixing ingredients. "Of course, dear! I work hard to make our days special!" Sarah thought about how she and her siblings always helped.

Her father was another source of happiness. He always bought what they needed and gave the best advice. Sarah remembered when she received the special gift from him: a notebook for her thoughts and dreams. "You must fill it with your stories, my dear," he had told her.

Setting up the decorations became a family event. Sarah sketched a beautiful painting on a large paper with bold colors, capturing the fun of the day. It featured her family: her grandfather, grandmother, uncle, and aunt, all smiling.
