Parents play an important role in everyone's life. We can't imagine a day without them. Where the fathers struggle to finance our needs, our mothers sacrifice their whole life to make us successful and stand out in this world. However, in many cases a women has to play both the roles, being mother and father at the same time.

Let me share an experience a few months back. My family shifted to a new house on rent where we were introduced to the tenants. She was a lady between 30 to 35 with wrinkles on her face and rough hands - enough to evidence her hard struggle, living with her two sons and a sister. She was making the both ends meet working as a seamstress.

During a conversation we came to know the tragic story behind her hard work. Her husband died in a car accident after five years of marriage, leaving them all alone to fight in this world. She pays the rent of the house and finances the education of her children. She could have opted to make the small kids work, but she made her life a bed of thorns to make the life of her children a bed of roses.
