Trevor always used to think that his mother had super strength, and now he knows that she definitely does.
He wrote:
“Whenever I’d see my mom carrying insanely heavy things on her head I’d always think two things-One, 'That’s so da*mn cool, I can’t even lift that with my arms.' And two, I feel like this is a metaphor for her journey in life - she lived her entire life with a giant burden on her head, from her family, her society and even her country.
"But instead of allowing this burden to stunt her growth, she strengthened her neck, improved her balance and practised walking tall despite that load. I can’t believe she got our family to where it is today with the obstacles she faced in life.
"The same way she would carry 50kg on her head while having a casual conversation, my mom carried our family every single day. Raising me, teaching me and inspiring me to grow into the best possible version of myself.”

“She’s proudly not perfect but always striving for perfection and for me she was the most perfect mother she could be.”
