My family's sacrifice story is of my great grand mother .Her husband died ( a doctor in Afghanistan ) when she was young , in her 20's and had two children .The family she was married n did not believe in education and belived in feudal system ,Her husband was the rebel who went on to become a doctor ...
When he died she was told by his family that they will get her married to someone else in the family and her children will also be raised by the family traditional feudal system ( no education ...just being land lords ) .
Her husband had made her promise him before dying that she will ensure that his children also are educated so this brave woman took her two young children and ran away from home .She literaly crossed fields and villages all on her own in the night and only after 2 days was helped by a friend ..
She started working and raised her two children on her own and made sure that they were well educated .her son went on to become a well known journalist .Every single person of her family ( girls and boys ) are all well educated .
She could have lived an easy and luxurious life if she wanted but she chose not to ...
Whatever we are today is all because of her sacrifices ...
