A single mom
Age 10
I can clearly remember the day dad passed away like it was yesterday. It came hard on both of us, but I guess you had to struggle more than me, all the responsibilities fell on you. You were young, beautiful, even when your brothers asked you to remarry you didn't even consider that option. From that day forward you've only lived for me. It was difficult finding a job 15 years after graduation. But you still tried, you gave it your everything so that I could have a life. Maybe I was too young to acknowledge all those hardships that you went through. But now that I'm about to graduate, I know how difficult it might've been for you. Being a single mom is never easy, you had to be both a mother and father to me. I know that people might judge you for my mistakes, but I can very well say that you did a damn good job raising me. You rejected your chance at a better life for the sake of my happiness and my future. As a 10 year old girl I didn't realize what you did for me back then, but I'm forever grateful to you for that.
