You’re still my best buddy…

“Mom, it’s been 2 decades when I first saw the mom that I know in you since then. The family was in great turmoil but you managed to stand alone. That was the time I first saw you cried, struggled and confused what to do with us. You were always filled with fear by then, which the smile you were wearing was just to cover those things from us. But then you continued the life that God had entrusted to you. You failed us to give a descent house, sumptuous food, elegant clothing. You let us live in a shanty, eat anything just to complete the 3 meals, ask your friends to give their children’s unused uniforms for school. Because I know, financially, you really can’t, even if you desired. I saw you worked so hard just to meet one thing – education. I know… that’s all that matters to you.
