093 - Happy Birthday, Mom
Happy Posthumous Birthday, Mom (GPT5.5 Render)
My mother, Nirmal Miglani 👩🏽⚕️, was a CCU/ICU Charge Nurse who came to the United States during the nursing shortage 🇺🇸. At six months old, I was left behind with my father and under the care of my aunt while my mom came to America first. Eighteen months later, Pops and I arrived ✈️.
Years later, while I was throwing raves in Champaign, Illinois 🎶 and parties in Chicago 🌃, I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 🎓 with such a reputation for all-night events that the police literally escorted me out of town after graduation to make sure the parties stopped 🚔.
During one of the Advent tours, I learned that my grandfather’s health was failing 🕊️ and that his days were numbered. Around the same time, my mom called me home because something terrible had happened.
My mom and another Korean nurse had been treating a patient who was in critical condition after what I believe was a motorcycle accident following a party 🏍️. The patient was reportedly on four different drugs. After sedating him, the same needle was turned back on both nurses and punctured each of them, exposing them to Hepatitis, leading my mom to Cirrhosis of the liver, without drinking alcohol in her life.
Then came another nightmare.
During a liver biopsy, my mother’s colon was accidentally punctured, leaving her dependent on colostomy bags. Even through all of this, she fought ⚔️. She was graciously moved up on the liver transplant list and received a transplant ❤️. She survived that battle too.
Later, she went in for what was supposed to be a routine colostomy reversal procedure.
While receiving a blood transfusion, the hospital staff failed to place her on a heart monitor because they assumed she was not a cardiac patient, despite her procedures taking place within the same hospital system.
My father sat beside her, reading the newspaper aloud 📰 while blood slowly pooled around my mother’s ankles.
She had passed nearly thirty minutes before the nurses or doctors realized it.
Today is June 10th, my mother’s birthday 🎂.
Happy Birthday, Mom 🤍
As much as you have come to me in dreams 🌙, through channeled conversations ✨, and through moments where your exact scent suddenly fills a room, I remain grateful for every sacrifice you made. Dad’s too.
From My Mom’s Services
I miss you terribly.
For a brief moment, when Nisha’s mother entered my life, I felt a motherly presence again 🤲🏽.
Mom, I know you never fully understood the music world or “band baja,” as you used to call it 🎺🥁. You did not want your son to become a “Deejay Weejay” 🎧. You wanted a “Doctor Woctor” 🩺.
Happy Birthday, Mom; I Hope You Are As Proud As You Were On This Day
But if you were here in Houston today 🌆, I think you would understand that Christ ✝️, His Father, and the Holy Spirit brought us here.
You may see that through Brahma, Krishna, and Vishnu instead 🕉️, and perhaps those are simply different languages attempting to describe the same divine force. Still, it was music 🎶, reggae 🇯🇲, and a man named Bob Marley who first taught me that “Music is My Religion” and “One Jah.”
I love you, Mom, 🤍
These next few songs are for you today 🎵🕊️
