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