Your story is very touching
Many people who perhaps go through your similar experience in life would shrink back in obscure loneliness and give up on life but here you are alive, grateful and thriving while hoping for the best.
I'd say congratulations and hey sorry that you eventually lost your beloved mother whom you gave up so much for.
Be strengthened and your innermost desires would come to you as you live a life of gratitude continually
