Lost my father in early childhood (then Principal Officer, Pubali Bank Limited).
My mom, who was a college teacher for 33 years (retired), raised us single-handedly. By 'us' I meant myself, my elder sister (married), and little brother. Perhaps, not so little anymore... doing his PhD at the University of Utah (USA) right now.
My mother has been a warrior throughout her entire life, our love for her is unfathomable.
