Tale of a struggling mother

block
Samiul Azim :
Mother is the word which is the combination of love, aspiration, best friend, and a great example of patience for me. My mother was born with a great smile on 31st December in 1964. From the very beginning of her life she was committed to her studies she got the scholarship in Class V. She faced many ups and downs but was much focused on her study and completed her education.
Now it is the turn to get her life into another stage where she was going to meet her dream-person with whom she would pass her life. But no, our society is here to stop their marriage, it might be happening due to their love. Still, I am confused, whenever I try to ask her this, she always with high creativity, avoids this question. Finally, she could start her conjugal life with her dream-person. Time passed in ablink of an eye, and this cute couple gave birth to their sweet little daughter, and after they gave birth to two daughters. Over time she was engaged in raising her three children with passion. She is a great mother with her exceptional artistic way to raise her children creatively.
According to the harsh reality of human life, the story of this mother is going to be changed and her good days are coming to meet an end. At the end of 2008, her king my father diagnosed with lung cancer. It was just the begging of her another part of life. But she is the lady who has passed all the exams with great patience. She started to keep her busy in taking care of my father. At this point, she proved that touch of the love of a wife could give strength to an even dying husband. Her love, affection and dedication were like a shadow for her king, and after a lot of effort, she lost him husband on 11 November in 2011. The harsh reality of life it was s not over yet. Now she had to play the role of both father and mother for her children with lots of new challenges. Till now she was not well acquainted with the social circumstances. But now she has to fight for her children as she has to face the financial crisis. At this point, she proved her as a warrior who could take the oath to keep her existence at any situation whether it is economic hardship or fighting against the so-called well-wishers who were so much available during the good day. And at last, she was reaching the shore but life again with new challenges met her. Now she got sick with the chronic kidney disease.
In 2016, her kidney was finally damaged and she was put to dialysis for twice in a week. The irony of fate is that she lost one of her dues to a swift surgery of a doctor without taking precaution. She is now suffering a lot due to eye pain.
I must say she is a lady who has multi-dimensional qualities of love and struggle is worthy daughter of her parents. She is a great wife to her husband and great mother to her children. She is an example of patience. She has been suffering a lot as she was not a born-blind. She is facing everything with smile.
