One picture one story #week80

Hello stemians thrilled to be here telling my story with a picture

Looking at the picture there I stand beside my mother together with my sister all of us having captivating smiles on our face. To everyone looking at it,it shows a happy family

It shows more of a group of people sharing love laughter and posing for the camera but looking close, something deeper lies beyond the smile. It is a story written in love sacrifice and unbreakable bonds.
While growing up, life wasn't easy there stood times we had to do with little when life seems wicked and dreams were faded the world felt harsh and we lived on memories but in all this, our mother always had her way to make us feel safe happy and stay hopeful
She took the role of not just a mother but a best friend and a rock. She was a warrior in disguise. the sleepless nights,she worried about things she can't voice out in the early hours of the day she will wake before the birds sang their song making sure we are provided with things to make us happy while hiding her own pains behind a smile just so we will feel loved
Our moments of struggles were overwhelmed with that of laughter our shared meals the jokes, games and stories we had before going to bed were what kept us going each day and formed part of our strength

So posing for this picture, we didn't just smile for the camera but we smiled for everything we went through . We smiled for the lessons, the hard times, challenges, the love that kept us bonded and the future we were sure of

The picture is more than an image but a proof of unwavering love resilience and a different shades of happiness that family offered taking notes that at the end of the day no matter life's circumstances and struggles we always have each other and that's the greatest story of all

This is my story Thank you all for going through
