Bed of Roses: A Tribute to Selfless Love. In the midst of grief, a mother's unwavering strength reflects like a moon. This painting tells the story of my family's darkest hour - the loss of our beloved father, the one we saw as our Mirror. As I grapple with the devastating loss of my father, my sister Elizabeth was on the cusp of a critical milestone - a government examination that would determine her future. To shield her from the heartbreak, we kept the news hidden, allowing her to focus on her studies. Meanwhile, our mother, a pillar of resilience, put aside her own grief to ensure Elizabeth's needs were met. Though her own appetite had vanished, she coaxed her daughter to eat, sacrificing her own comfort for the sake of her child. We've all lost someone, and something that we love so dearly, how we allow it to reflect affects others directly or indirectly. Dear, YOU are STRONG, Do IT STRONG.
