Mother's Day

Rubab Abdullah, Residential Area, Dhaka Cantonment, Dhaka
On May 10, I celebrated the Mother's Day because I was blessed with a child by the Almighty in February, after many years of my marriage. Being the wife of the only son of the family, I was under tremendous pressure although becoming a mother was not in my hands. I along with my husband consulted many doctors and spiritual advisors to become a mother. Our well wishers suggested that we try test-tube and other ways. But I always desired natural pregnancy and I had the confidence in me that I could bear a child. Although sometimes my surroundings made my confidence level low and pushed me to such a condition, as if I had no right to live on earth. Now, I have overcome the situation with mental strength and have the feeling of the happiest person in the world!
