They gave a beautiful life to a beautiful child!...

So, this is something that happened in my immediate family. My aunt and uncle loved and had known each other for over two years before they tied the knot. It seemed like a rosy story. Everything was all good and they were having the best days of their life. They both loved each other as much as they had done on the day they met. The family was also very supportive. Things were all good and they decided to take the next big step almost after 2 years of enjoying the marital bliss when they decided to extend their family. And that is when the trouble started, they tried initially for some time but it didn’t work. They went in for a lot of tests, took all the medication as prescribed by the doctors. Nothing happened. At first they had a lot of hope that something will happen and they would get the happiness in their life but with time they lost all the hope. And it was always a sad affair when the relatives and people were more worried about you being childless and like it meant the end of the world. I had seen that look in their eyes and that they wanted to share the love in their life with a third someone and craved for it every day when they see other happy couples with kids. The sorrow in their life seemed unending but their love for each other seemed eternal.
Then one fine day, we received a call from my auntie that they had adopted a beautiful baby girl and she is there at their house. We couldn’t contain our joy and it was at the peak when we finally visited them and there she was-the sweetest and the most beautiful thing that we had ever seen. She lit the whole room with her presence. My aunt told me that they had told someone in their village that they would like to adopt a baby girl. So, when they got a call from that person, they couldn’t wait and left immediately and brought home this 3 day old bundle of joy after doing all the legal formalities. Her parents were poor and couldn’t believe her luck that her child is going to an affluent family. A week back was that baby girl’s 1st day in the school and it made me feel so proud of my uncle and aunt who not only lit their home with this beautiful child but also gave a beautiful life to this sweetest child.
