At her age, I had only wished for a music player and a new pair of jeans.\n

I wanted to make her happy on her special day, but I couldn\u2019t bring myself to turn her into a TikTok doll. Instead, I decided to blend her desires with my own values. We spent the day together at a spa, enjoying facials and manicures, but with a focus on natural beauty. I surprised her with a stylish yet modest outfit from her favorite brand and a new set of paints and canvases to explore her artistic side.\n

As we painted together that evening, I saw her eyes light up, not just with the reflection of polished nails, but with genuine happiness. In that moment, I realized that while times may change, the essence of childhood joy remains the same\u2014time spent together, feeling loved and understood.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
