It was 8.3°C with few clouds. The breeze was gentle.
I remember sitting on my mom’s lap when I was small and being amazed that she could type without looking at the keyboard.
She’s been through some life-changing struggles, including a war and partition in Bangladesh, shifting countries and citizenships, minimum wage jobs, raising two kids through the 90’s, and tons of small and large sacrifices. Yesterday, she received her GED after having been out of any formal school setting for about 30 years. She was and is a hero to me.
