In the quiet weight of hardship, love speaks louder than words. This image captures not just the fragility of life, but the fierce resilience that carries it forward. Every line etched in a mother’s face, every glance, every embrace—speaks of battles fought in silence and dreams whispered through hunger.
This is not just a story of suffering. It is a testament to the strength that grows in the harshest soil, and the unshakable hope that cradles the future.
