There are moments in life when fate doesn’t announce itself with a sign or a sudden revelation. It arrives quietly, almost unnoticed, nudging us away from one path and toward another. I believe that’s what happened to me during one of the most difficult chapters of my life.

When my father passed away, the world around me felt different, not just emotionally, but in how uncertain everything suddenly seemed to change. Grief has a strange way of rearranging your priorities. Things that once felt urgent or important no longer carried the same weight. Around that same time, a job transfer was presented to my husband.  He had been in a manager training program, and this was the kind of offer where you periodically get transferred to other cities.  On paper, it was the next logical step. It promised more pay, more responsibility, and the kind of advancement most people work years to achieve.
