Was I born unlucky or was I just too naïve? I was so young, barely old enough to understand the world and its cruelty while surrounded by people who took advantage of that. This is a story of how my innocence was exploited by the needs and selfishness of everyone around me and how I used my pretend life to overcome the obstacles I faced. I have miraculously made it into my senior years and can proudly relay how I survived a life that was riddled with great challenges and sadness. I am amazed by the capacity of the mind to create survival mechanisms and thankful to share the importance of perseverance.

My name is Pushpa. I was born in India in 1942, moved to England in 1969 and have been living in Canada since 1991. I am now in my late 70's. I am a mother of five and a grandmother of seven who sadly witnessed the loss of my youngest daughter and one of my granddaughters. I enjoyed the tranquility of water color painting in my spare time while taking care of my grandchildren and my special needs daughter when we lived together. Now, I live in an apartment on my own and do a little less painting as my hands shake. However, I enjoy the peacefulness and serenity of my senior years, as well as the beauty of all that life offers. Seeing the successes of my family fulfills all that I had missed when I was a child and reinforces my very purpose of being a support to them.
