My Seventeenth Birthday

Life has always been tough for my widowed, yet beautiful mom there after. While setting up my life, she chose to live far away from our in-laws and have been a teacher in primary school since then. Her life has witnessed a transition from upper middle-class status in her childhood days to lower middle-class post marriage to being poor now. Probably she is one of the most ill-fated ladies I have ever seen in my life. While negotiating with life, she has almost forgotten to take care of herself.
