093 - Happy Birthday, Mom

A deeply personal reflection on immigrant sacrifice, family, music, faith, and loss. Manish Miglani honors his mother, Nirmal Miglani, a CCU/ICU Charge Nurse who came to America during the nursing shortage and fought through unimaginable medical hardship with resilience and grace. Through memories spanning Champaign-Urbana, Chicago, Houston, reggae, spirituality, and motherhood, this piece becomes both a birthday tribute and a meditation on love, sacrifice, and the enduring presence of those we miss most.
