Like I mentioned before there are four of us in our family. My mother Maureen, my brother Thulitha and my sister Hasanika.
My Father died in 1984, when I was only 11 years old. But since then our mother has done an outstanding job to make sure that our lives did not get affected by our loss. I am really proud of her and what she did for us, to make us the people that we are.
At this point she is kind of alone now that I am in the US ( again) and my sister is married and my brother is busy with work and finishing his MBA.
But at this time I should take the time to thank my mother for the excellent job she did in raising us and for all the hard work and sacrifices she made in the process.
"Ammi now that we are all grown up and become independent it is your time to relax and not worry about us. But always keep in mind that we love you and that we will always need your love and understanding."
