Nearly a year ago, Amit and I pulled off what was, without a doubt, the most memorable surprise of our lives—a grand celebration for our father, Jeevan Motgi’s 75th birthday. The party was a complete surprise, and the joy and emotion on Dad’s face when he walked into the room full of family, friends, and familiar faces from his past is something I will never forget.
The planning was meticulous. Amit and I spent months and weeks coordinating every detail, making sure that this milestone in Dad’s life would be celebrated in a way that truly honored him. And it paid off—everything went off without a hitch, and the night was a resounding success.

The Celebration
We went all out to make sure it was a night to remember. The venue was beautifully decorated, and the atmosphere was electric with excitement. The food was delicious, the drinks were flowing, and the entertainment was top-notch. We had a live orchestra that played all of Dad’s favorite tunes, setting the perfect backdrop for the evening.
But what truly made the night special were the people who came to celebrate with us. Family and friends from around the world gathered to honor Dad, some of whom he hadn’t seen in years. The room was filled with laughter, stories, and the warmth of shared memories. We even had a few surprise guests from his past who made the evening even more special.
Dad was in his element, surrounded by the people he loves, celebrating a life well-lived. It was a night of pure joy, and Amit and I were both filled with pride and happiness at being able to give our father such a wonderful gift.

At that time, Amit was in perfect health. There was no sign of the challenges that would soon come into our lives. Just a few weeks after we returned from that trip, Amit began experiencing what was initially thought to be sciatica pain. Little did we know then how much our lives would change in the months to come.
Looking back on that night, it’s bittersweet. It was one of the happiest moments of our lives, but it’s also a reminder of how quickly things can change. Amit’s illness has brought new challenges, but it has also made us cherish the memories of that night even more. The laughter, the love, and the sense of togetherness that filled the room are what keep us going, even on the toughest days.
