“Flora, the Mother Who Rescued Me After I Lost My Biological Parents in the War”

“Mother” who rescued me after I lost my parents in the war

My biological mother is said to have died when I was 4 years old. Since it was in the middle of the war, I myself have lived until now without knowing what the truth is. But if there’s one undeniable truth about my life, it’s meeting her mother, Flora. This is an eternal property. Flora is her adoptive parent. When I was a child, I had the impression that she was a “great and strong person,” but as I grew older, I realized that my mother was a fragile person, and I began to think that I had to protect her. became. Flora is my precious existence beyond the concept of her adoptive mother or real mother.

I met Flora when I was 4 years old. It was a time when her home country of Iran was suffering from the Iran-Iraq War. At that time, I was living in an orphanage, and Flora brought jam to her orphanage. That’s because in a TV commercial recruiting her foster parents, a girl appeals, “We are looking for a family. Please come and meet us and bring sweet jam.” I think it’s because I’m curious.

That girl is me. Flora, who came to visit the orphanage, became popular with the children, and a battle for Flora began. I want to spend more time with the kind Flora, so I ask her to become a mother, but Flora just looks troubled. And one time, she clung to Flora, who was about to leave, saying, “Take me with you!” But a few months later, Flora told me. “Will she be my child?” she said.
