My eldest daughter got married . And the only support now I had left with me were my two sons . One took care of the cows we owned and other took care of the house hold stuff . We would sell cow milk also to gain some financial support . After a while my daughter got blessed with a child and as she used to run a shop . My son-in-law gave us the ownership to that shop to us . We used to run the shop .
My youngest son started to handle the shop also . On the other hand my elder son went abroad to Cyprus in hope of getting success in his career . We were a lot more happy for him . And at that time going abroad to work was really big deal so a lot of relatives came to depart him .
I still remember that time when he returned from the departing gate to come and hug me . He told me that everything would be fine while I shed a lot of tears . He would call me everyday anyhow from Cyprus which was really a big deal because making a phone call from a city to another was already a challenge but somehow he found a way to call me everyday .
He would ask if I cried or not . He would always remind me that we would grow a lot and we would soon be living a peaceful life . And like that 2 years passed by and my youngest son got married as we still had a lot of responsibilities on our shoulders and we needed someone who could handle and take care of some little part of it .
Then life again started to change and take turns my son's became more bigger and important to me than anything in this world . Both of them were understanding and grown up . My daughter had another life and world of her own so I didn't wanted to take her our problems . No one ever was there to even ask me about my condition but my sons . I also learned that if there is Wealth then everyone is with us but with no wealth even our own leave us . But at times like these my sons always took care of me . Believing in god, Even many people didn't want to get involved with me because of my husband's death . I didn't ever leave my children even when I was at my lowest and even when I had nothing to offer them .
Life was always like this cruel to everyone but also rewarding to those who accepted what they got and moved ahead . Even now after 24 years many people still have a mindset of hating on widows like me . Today I stand tall and proud of how far we came, I didn't reach here myself . My children all worked hard for this future we once dreamed of . Nothing is actually impossible in life, With Zero we started and with zero we will end but between those two we could get more than those zeros .
Although I succeeded in life with my children I wish and pray that no women shall bear the loss of her loved one for me whom was my husband . Without him even my own hated me, they were disgusted of me . Across the vast sea of starts we must try to live our life as the sun . We must burn bright .
Brother-sister, Friends and mates only seemed to be with me when I had this cursed thing known as wealth and money . Strange thing that a paper controls the whole world . Today I have reached here I don't know how much long will I live up to but I do know one thing that I love this life and I would always want to live this life even if it meant that I would have to struggle like that in the beginning .
