The Heroes Behind My Smile

A single smile creates a ripple of worth, effortlessly melting away and turning a difficult day into a beautiful, memorable day. It is a silent but powerful force that connects hearts and brightens even the darkest of days.

It is about three years ago that I lost my world in the sense of my mother. After her absence, I felt what the world really feels how its people really treat the world feels heavier than she taught me. People told me time would fix this, but time becomes a witness to it. How much do I need her? I really miss her in a very small moment. The time she melted herself for my happiness. The time when I achieved something in my life, I miss her blessings and her advice. 

People talk about healing like it's a destination, but they are wrong. As the years passed by, the world only gets cooler, and the people in it are more selfish.

But even though everything happened as destiny, there was a hero for me, a man who was meant to be my biggest supporter. He was my beloved father. He really didn't leave me after my mother's death. He really played both the roles of the mother's side as well as father. He was the one who didn't let us feel that we were motherless. He was not just my father, but my backbone and biggest supporter. Above all, he was the influencer and inspiration of my life. He taught me what is right in every path of my life, and I really loved him from the bottom of my heart.

And my second hero, a woman who looked after me to see my smile after my mother. She is my grandmother. Another way to describe her is that in this world, she is my world. Her care is just like my own mother. She was my mother sometimes, sometimes she became a teacher for me, and sometimes she became my best friend to play with me. The real heroine in my chapters of life.

Another hero in my life. A man who has reason for my happiness. My brother, he is the mini version of my happiness. Therapy was expensive, but god blessed me with him for my therapy. I didn't let him think that he is motherless, as I played the role of mother in his life.

One day I started thinking, every child must try their best to respect and love their parents while they are with them. Once they are not with us, it's too hard to survive without them because I know how painful it is. In my life, I found a way to move forward with these heroes.
