The Strongest Soul
My mom's entire life has been full of hardships, but instead of complaining, she took it upon herself to ensure that my sister and I could live a childhood unlike hers. It was full of love, support, and dreams, even through the toughest of times.
A Giving Soul
She's not just my mother. She's donated practically her entire life to helping other people, especially students, find a home in her. By offering her time, company, and counseling, not just in India, but for the five years we've been in Armenia. She never took a day off from caring for her countless children, all whilst suffering in silence.
“For 60 hours, my mom suffered with a thunderclap headache, rated a 10/10 on the pain scale. For context, childbirth is a 9/10.”
While no one deserved the pain my mom went through, she especially didn't deserve it.
Just a few months ago, she lay in the ICU, a fragile tangle of tubes and wires obscuring her beautiful smile. But today, she is finally home, fighting to communicate and regain her independence. Even after every setback, she is desperately trying to fight back and regain what was lost. Mom is truly the strongest soldier I know.
"My deepest desire, my most desperate yearning, is simply to hear her voice again, to hold her hand, to spend one peaceful, ordinary moment with her."
