Notes to mom - Fifth

A courageous mom

Age 17
This is another one of my least favorite memory, this happened when I was in my 12th grade. I had to stay away from home while I was in my 12th grade and it was the first time I was away from home and I was seriously not taking the experience well. There were a few misunderstandings at the place where I was staying and the issues got bigger and bigger and soon a lot of my very close relatives got involved. I was accused of something that I didn't do and I couldn't prove it to them otherwise. It was probably the toughest situation that I had faced, I was cornered by everyone, accused, humiliated, there was literally no one who would stand by me. But you did, even when your own mother and brothers despised me, you took my stand and told them boldly that "my daughter won't lie to me". It was all the reassurance that I needed to survive that. It was purely your support and encouragement that helped me graduate 12th with a good score. I faced tougher issues later in my life, but no one of it shook me, because I knew as long as you are there I can tackle them all. Your mere existence is the reason of my courage. Even now whenever I'm concerned I just need to hear your comforting voice to be at peace.
