You grew up in a small northern town in your country, surrounded by the quiet rhythm of daily life. Your family was ordinary in many ways—your mother, father, older brother, and younger sister made up your world. Your father had his struggles, particularly with drinking, but over time, he found his way and became a caring and devoted father. Your mother, a dedicated nurse at the local hospital, worked long hours but always made time for her family. Your older brother, now a mechanic, spent his days fixing cars in a garage not far from home, while your younger sister is still in school, full of energy and dreams of her own.
