Today I received a photo from my brother-in-law. It was an old fading picture of my mom from when she started school. When she was younger she wore a basic uniform held her books close to her chest and had innocent dreamy eyes. She entered the realm of education for the first time in 1971. She appeared so tiny and innocent like though the entire world was waiting for her. I couldn't stop crying when I looked at the photo. Life is very fast. Time flies. That young child full of energy and aspirations grew up experienced life overcame many obstacles and gave her everything to her family. She served as a source of support for all of us.

But she not with us anymore. It has been sixteen years since Mom passed away. The pain of her absence is still present even if sixteen years without her seems like an eternity. Her warmth her laughter and the way she used to look out for everyone without asking anything in return are all things I miss. I recall all of our times together everything she taught me and the sacrifices she made for her family. But now that she is gone all that remains are memories—some terrible some lovely but all invaluable. That image is more than just a picture. It serves as a reminder of the beginning development and final fading of life. It serves as a reminder of my mother's path from the very beginning.

What you have learned from it?
