Intelligence, Resilience, Tenacious, Loving, Nurturer.
Immigrating from a country that didn’t give her many opportunities,
She risked everything for the betterment of her child,
So that her daughter would thrive in the land of opportunities,
So that she could see her child enjoy a life filled with freedom rather restrictions…
She was passive and obedient for most of her life,
She faced an infinite amount of suffering,
She endured jealousy, hatred, oppression, in the form the family she married into….
She was living only for her children during this time,
Her children were witnesses of all the social crimes that she survived,
There were so many forms of hatred that were being spewed at her mother…
It wasn’t until she was older that the suffering and her passive traits were changing…
It took about half of her life to fully understand who she was meant to become…
At 50 years old, she witnessed the courage and strength that she withheld throughout her entire life….
She was like a phoenix, rising from the ashes of her pain and reborn as a stronger version of who she used to be…
This mother of three decided to be strong when she was shamed for being harassed….
She was fed up with the unnecessary stresses of her in-laws and husband,
She was done listening to anyone about who she was or what she could do,
She was over the bullshit excuses she told herself about them,
She finally saw them for who they really were…
They manipulated her, abused her, and took advantage of her kind nature,
They didn’t deserve what she had offered them for most of her life…
She became someone who wasn’t willing to listen to those who oppressed her any longer…
She became someone who didn’t want to serve backstabbing people anymore…
She let go of her old self and decided to become who she was meant to be…
She is now a star in her own world…
She has people who support her and love who she truly is…
She has changed people’s lives in the best ways possible…
Whether it was through an unexpected gift or a heartfelt conversation…
She touched people’s souls if they would let her..
She is my Shero.
