A Good Mother, She is…

She's a young single mother, blessed with two active boys. When I first knew her, little did I know that I would have played a part (albeit small) in helping her to change her life, for the better. The way she single-handedly manage the boys just never cease to amaze us. Abang has taken a liking to Amir and adik to me. Looking at their cute innocent faces, we felt compelled to show their mother a way that can lead to a better life for them. It was heart-breaking to see her struggling to take that step, yet she trudged up, looking ahead at the goals she set herself, never losing sight of them. Her journey has just begun and so long as she remembers why she took to this road, she'll reach her destination. I pray that the others will follow suit for I know this path will bring us to greater heights in life and when it is travelled together, the journey is much more meaningful.

I am lucky to have her as a friend. I can only wish I could be as strong.
