We are twins, and today we turn three years old, a small but special milestone in our young lives. There are candles on the cake and smiles on our faces, even though our parents are far away at war. We may be little, but our hearts are full, holding love, hope, and the feeling that we are never truly alone. This birthday is quiet, yet deeply meaningful.

Even with the distance, our home is filled with warmth. We feel our parents’ love in the stories we are told and in the thoughts that surround us every day. Though they cannot be here to celebrate with us, their presence lives in our hearts. Love travels farther than distance, and it gently wraps around us, keeping us strong.

Our wonderful grandmother is the reason this day feels so bright. She baked our birthday cake with careful hands and a loving heart, making sure everything was just right. Each layer of the cake carried her kindness, and every candle shone with her care. Through her efforts, our birthday became a moment of joy instead of sadness.

Her hugs make us feel safe, and her smile gives us hope. When she holds us close, the world feels calm and kind. Her presence turns ordinary moments into something magical, filling our day with laughter and comfort. With her by our side, we feel protected and deeply loved.

We are thankful for everything she gives us—not just the cake, but her patience, her warmth, and her endless love. She makes our little world brighter, teaching us what kindness looks like through her actions. In her care, we learn the meaning of family and gratitude.

As we celebrate turning three, we hold onto hope for the future. We wish for our parents to return safely and for our family to be together again. May we always remember this birthday as a day filled with love, courage, and thankfulness—a reminder that even in difficult times, love can make life beautiful.
