Mother is one person who means the whole universe in itself. Without a mother even the strongest person would be shattered. A mother nurtures her child, instill good manners and guide us in the journey called life. Mothers are omnipresent in our hard times and treat us dearer than anything else in this planet. Mother\u2019s love is selfless and without her love life would be incomplete for everyone. Here are some stories of brave mothers who are special in their own way.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018I used to feed him water as dinner. I had no option. His father left us when he was just 1-year-old. Since I was unable to pay the rent, our landlord kicked us out. With such tiny baby in my arms, I had no place to go. We spent nights at the railway station and bus stand. I still remember that sometimes, the stray dogs would chase us away. We felt lucky on the days when people offered us food outside temples. It was painful when I could not protect him from scorching sun and\u00a0stormy rains. He would often catch cold and fever, but I had no means to get him treated. He learned to heal on his own. I felt that the mother inside me failed to do justice to my child. It was then that one of the women visiting the temple offered me to work as a maid in her house. I felt life knocking at my door. I could do anything to keep my innocent child surviving. He\u2019s all grown up today. Seeing him happy, I too have forgotten the pain. And yes, I have not failed as a Mother.\u2019<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018My husband is an alcoholic. He beats me almost every day. And sometimes \u2013 in front of our son too. When he stopped working, we didn\u2019t have food to eat for days. I had to beg for food from our neighbours, so that my child didn\u2019t have to sleep empty stomach. The entire responsibility to earn a three-time meal fell on my shoulders. Working as a maid in others\u2019 houses was the only option left. But I had to keep my child surviving. He is the only hope that keeps me alive. All my mental and physical pain will fade away once my child will succeed in life.\u2019<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Respect\u2019 is the most important thing in a human\u2019s life. My father did all kind of small jobs in his life to survive with his family. Sometimes he worked as a labour on construction sites, sometimes he worked on small shops as a helper, and sometimes he did loading and unloading of goods in factories. He was bound to respect everyone \u2013 those who were older than him and also those who were very younger than him. On the other hand people insulted him for being uneducated and poor. Despite the hard struggles, my father ensured that I and all my sisters get an education<\/a>. He says society respects educated people, and I always wanted to earn that respect for him. Today, I work as a teacher and nothing brings more happiness to my heart when people talk to my father with admiration and honour.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\" Sneha has started schooling at Smile Foundation\u2019s Mission Education centre \u2013 IPDP in Laggere, Bengaluru<\/em>

\u201cI don\u2019t remember a single day when I wasn\u2019t tortured mentally and physically by my husband. He used to spend all his earnings in his drinks. I never had even a single rupee in my hand. There were times when my daughter didn\u2019t get anything to eat and I helplessly waited all night for my husband to return home with food. My daughter never cried in hunger \u2013 as if she has learned to live without adequate food. The day my husband fell sick, I spent all night on the hospital floor\u00a0\u2013 crying besides him. No matter how worse situations were, I couldn\u2019t leave him that way. I couldn\u2019t give up on him.I did different works on daily wages \u2013 some days I broke stones, some days I carried 1000 bricks, and some days I cleaned factory floors \u2013 and earned money to pay for my husband\u2019s medical bills. I never rested. I carried my daughter to all workplaces. Her smile gave me energy, gave me motivation and hope at every minute of my struggle. My husband is still recovering. When he thanks me for saving his life \u2013 I tell him, it\u2019s our daughter\u2019s smile that has kept both of us alive.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\" Her daughter has been identified and enrolled at Smile Foundation\u2019s Mission Education centre PWS in the Yamuna River Bank, Delhi<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018Only a labourer like me will understand how much hard work it takes to survive. If I do not put my sweat and blood in the work I do, my child will starve. I earn very little daily wages, so every single rupee is valuable. It doesn\u2019t matter if our roof is broken, or we sleep on the cold mud-floor in winters. Nothing matters more than food for my child. When I feed my child I become the happiest person in this world. I feel no more pain when my daughter holds me and smiles. Who can be happier than me?\u2019<\/em>–<\/p>\n\n\n
