༦༥༡༡ Gilbert Road

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost two years since we made Elmbridge Court on Gilbert Road our home. Room 321 wasn’t just a space—it became a vessel of memories, carrying with it waves of joy, frustration, laughter, and quiet reflection. Our time here has been nothing short of meaningful.

This third-floor room gave us the most precious gift of all—Norzang. He was conceived here, and for the first four months of his little life, this was his world. It’s where he first heard sounds, discovered light, and began exploring life. One day, he’ll read this and know that this place was his first haven.

On Saturday, June 28, 2025, we woke up early—so did Norzang, as if sensing the change. With the help of my brother Sangay and a kind Bhutanese driver named Tobden, we made two trips to move our belongings. We’re deeply thankful to the managers—Anna, Ladh, and Jey—who were always so kind and supportive. This building also carries memories of my wife working tirelessly as a cleaner here for nearly a year, until she stepped into her new role as Norzang’s mother.

There are countless moments etched into this space—walks around the football field, afternoons at Minoru Park right across the street, quiet evenings watching the seasons change. We’ll surely miss it all, but we’re not going far. And one day, I know Norzang will return here to reconnect with his very first home.

As I write this, we are just minutes away from leaving—Norzang sleeps soundly on my lap, unaware of the new chapter beginning. We’re moving just a few kilometers away, but the memories we’ve built here will travel with us.

With love in my heart and hope for the days ahead, may the next journey be even more beautiful.
