Comment:
Great story, so touching. It is described how important family is; moreover, a mother. Every child need a good figure of mother to light up her/his life. This story also show about the feeling of a broken home girl and how she tried to feel the emptiness inside her heart. It teach me “mother to be” to care more about my child and always stand by him/her self.
