Family

hands holding paper family on a blue background

My name is Vishnudevi I am living in Canada. I was born in Jaipur. My father is an ex-service man. I completed my Master’s in Information Technology. My mother is a homemaker. She is a hard-working woman. When my father was in his service, she helped us grow alone. I have one younger sister. My father retired in 2009. He has started a small business. He is working hard to develop his company. He wanted to improve our family’s financial condition because we were two girls. In our society girl child should get married at the right age. My father also had the same thought. We didn’t go to work. I came to Canada after marriage. later I realized why I don’t give single penny to my parents. It makes me feel very guilty. I got married in 2017. My husband is a mechanical engineer. It took one year to get my Permanent Resident Visa. That one year I was in India I faced many problems. With my family support I have recovered completely. I was five months pregnant when I flew in the flight. My parents were scared to send me off alone in the flight. I had full confidence about me and my baby. After I came here, I enjoyed the new environment then I was blessed with a boy baby. He was born one month before his due date that time my husband was taking care of me and my baby. Time flies too fast, my son is three years old now. Everything about me is my family. I thanks God for giving this wonderful life and family for me. My family is my greatest blessings.
