My story

Everyone’s sad stories start the same way. I am 20 years old at the moment, but I already seem to have lived a lifetime of hardships.

I remember vaguely remember anything related to my childhood. I can say that I didn’t really have a childhood. When everyone was playing and enjoying their carefree and beautiful life, I was trying to make a living with my mother. Every day was the same, in the morning I woke up in my mother’s arms hungry and thought like an adult how this day would go. Children of my age went to school, and so did I, but I often stayed home because of the lack of clothes and or other necessities.
My mother, despite being sick, did her best to bring me up as a good and worthy person.
I remember my mother’s tears, the constant pains, and the cough, which seemed to make me tired and hurt every time, in the miserable mood that I was. I went to feed the cows every day and came back in the evening. Taking care of the cows, I was able to earn a living. There was a woman who helped me, and loved me as her own granddaughter.
I think all my troubles came from my father’s absence. My father left me when I was a child. I dreamed…
When I was in the fields, I dreamed and soared in the sky.
It was very hard to live without the person you have always loved, it was hard to wait for him to return in vain. No one has been able to fill his gap so far. And I am still waiting for him to come, I do not know why.
In all my pain I have always dreamed of family warmth.
No one could fill my father’s gap.
My mother was abandoned and alone, she only had me and nothing else.
She fought and did the impossible for me, I am grateful to her, I am grateful that she exists. I never told her about any of this, I may not have been a worthy daughter to her, but she has always loved and forgiven me. I want to be like her…

Years passed, I grew up. I thought I had met my only one. In my dreams I had already formed my family, I was happy, but… It turned out that he was married and his promises were false. Today I am alone again and I have had a girl like me. I feel abandoned and neglected. My relatives turned their backs to me because I was pregnant and not married.
I was forced to get rid of my “heart”, to leave my daughter, but I am strong, I will do the impossible for my daughter.
I have always been kind to everyone, but they did not treat me the same way and deceived me. I was sincere and not hypocritical. I do not know why I was not lucky, but I do not complain. Everyone learns from their mistakes, although how can a child be called a mistake? He is my light. I am so thankful to God for bringing me to ”Bari Mama”.
Because I do not feel alone, there are wonderful people around me.
Do not leave your loved one, your light!
In one corner of ”Bari Mama” it is written that the best is still ahead. I also believe in that.
And that is the most important thing when you are given hope and are supported in every step.
From now on my daughter and I have a big and kind family, we live in ”Bari tnak”. And everything will be fine as long as we are together.
Do not leave, no matter what.
