My mom
I choose to draw my mother (the one on the top) and my grandmother (the one on the bottom) because they are the ones who shaped my life in ways I can never fully repay. My mom always tried to do the best for me, even when she didn't get to stay with me much because she used to travel a lot due to her sickness. Despite the challenges of her health issues, which often kept her away for extended periods, she made sure I had everything I needed, emotionally, financially, and spiritually. She would call me every day, sending letters filled with encouragement and little gifts that reminded me of her love. Her sacrifices taught me resilience and the importance of putting family first, no matter the obstacles. Even in her absence, her presence was felt through the values she instilled in me, like kindness and perseverance. Drawing her at the top symbolizes how she was my guiding light, always lifting me up from afar.
