In Pakistani society, You don’t really witness a single mother raising her kids on her own, that’s not a norm in our society… Our father abandoned us when I was just 4yo, My mother was a Primary School Teacher, back then she was the most educated woman amongst her family… Despite the fact that she had to raise 3 kids on her own, she never gave up… Whatever I’m today is the courtesy of countless sacrifices that my mother made throughout her life… Every Father’s Day, I wish her to the be the greatest father ever, Cus she fulfilled both the role of a mother and a father in my life… She taught us (brothers) to be patient and always grateful to the Almighty SWT… We had tough times financially in our childhood but she always fed us the best at the expense of her own luxuries and desires, so many countless sacrifices that I can’t even repay even 1% of it… I just made an attempt to thank her through this piece of paper…

I know this piece of paper is worthless to what she did for us… But writing it made me realize even more of how hard her battle was , How she never gave up on us, How she provided for us everything we needed .. Thank you Ammi 💞 You’re my idol 💞
