Hello! Life is one and we all are very much curious about our life. Each have different motto of their life. When a child is born he understands nothing, When he grows up he sees the beautiful world. He feels the beauty of life. But the reality of life is not the same for all. The rich have lot of money so their child don’t feel the pain of harsh reality of poor and middle-class families.
I am a member of middle-class family so I know the struggle of a father and a mother to grow up a child. They tried hard to well-educate their child. And for this they sacrifice their luxury life. It is a great compromise for parents. When I was child I grew up in my grandfathers house, my mothers father, as my mom died after I was born. I got my grandmother and my moms three sisters and a brother there.They took care of me according to their ability.
The list of most grateful things of my life is too long. The most grateful is I called mom to my moms immediate younger sister and she never let me feel the absence of my late mother. My grandfather whom I called nana loved me more than his own children. He often went tour from his college. Sometimes he took me with him. The Lal Bagh Fort I visited a few years ago was first visited with my nana when I was in kindergarten. He often brought me tasty foods, sweets etc for me.
My grandmother also loves me very much. At my early age I often got sick. My grandmother took care of me. She often didn’t sleep for me at night as I suffered from fever. It is a pity that my nana has died 13 years ago. My grandmother is still alive. I think she is a blessing for me. Due to my job I can't meet with her regularly. I remembered that my nana was too much eager to teach me english. He often learned english language by translating english to bengali and bengali to english. He always wished me to be a wise and well educated and also be a pious.
My father met with me once in a month. He never got married again. My father died in 2024. I missed my childhood with my father. It has a bad effect on me. As my mom died and father lived far from me, I grew up with lack of confidence. I think for mental development and for increasing courage a child should grow up with his parents. My childhood was full of fear, lack of confidence and those results were a large number of errors in my day-to-day life. I think my mental growth was hampered for lack of proper parenting. Though I got a lot of care and love from all but since I grew up not in my own address it caused a significant unusual social effect on me.
I got married three years ago and now I am a father of my cutest baby girl. But it is a matter of luck that I live far from my family for my job. I am not able to shift my family with me on a low wage. We have a house in Dhaka city. That is where my family lives and I meet up with them once in a month. I desperately want to live with my wife and child for the rest of my life. Since I was deprived of my fathers love I want that things shouldn’t repeat with my child.
This is the one and only wish that I am trying to fulfill. Besides, I want to see my present mother, aunts, uncle, grandmother, and all those who took care of me in my mother's absence, happy. Here I shared a vintage picture of my childhood with my uncles. This makes me nostalgic when I see the memories of my past.
