A dream of every parent to see their children grow up into healthy and capable individuals. Parents often sacrifice their entire life raising their children in the hope that their children will provide them a shoulder of support in their old age. But not everyone is as lucky. Sometimes for a parent this blessing comes with certain hardships. According to KNO correspondent, For 70-year-old Khatija Banoo, parenthood means looking after 15-year-old blind son. Sitting on the verandah of her humble abode in Hardu kitchru Ashmuqam, a village which lies at a distance of 12 kilometers from the main town of Anantnag, Khatija Banoo seems like any other ordinary woman. But after talking to her, one begins to see her in a different light.

Within a few years, we learnt that our second son is partially blind," she said. 15-year-old Nazir Munan wants to become a teacher but unfortunately Nazir left school in 4th class after school teachers advised his mother to left the schooling. My husband, having always been courageous, resolved to work day and night and earn enough for our blind sons treatment. But the anxiety took its toll on him. He died due to brief illness when my son was quite young. Having left with no source of income, I tried approaching the authorities for help but everyone I went, I was met with closed doors and hearts. Nobody helped me. I did my best to raise my kids. I started doing odd jobs just to be able to put food on my kid’ plates. I faced a lot of hardships but I bore them all for my blind son.
