Once grand father told Meri to get ready, he will take her to her mother. Meri was very happy. Because she had never gone for a visit before, this was her first visit in her life. That too to her mother. It is very happy for Meri . It is not possible to look in the strong sun at noon. In the distance Mary's mother is seen coming towards them. Very happy to see Mary. The mother hugged her daughter and started crying. In the afternoon, the three of them had dinner at the hostel. Many days later Mary is eating at her mother's hand. She is asking her mother while eating why she does not stay with her daughter? She has no answer.Now it's time for Mary to go home. She has to leave her mother again. Both mother and daughter are crying hugging each other. Can this cry actually be tolerated? A small child has to leave his mother only for a living. Meri goes back to her uncle's house with her grandmother. her life struggle started there again. As each day goes by, Meri starts going to school.No one wanted to play with Meri because she didn't have good clothes. She always wore old clothes to school. The neglect of her uncle and aunty at home and the neglect of fellow students and teachers at school, Meri was becoming mentally ill. she often remembered her brother and mother. Meri's mother now decides to admit Meri to a girls' orphanage. And he admitted Mary there. Meri began to suffer more and more in the new environment. After some time Meri made a good friend there. Because there were all orphans. All come here from poor families, some have no parents!Meri came here and realized that her studies were very good. Because of which the teachers there started to like Meri very much. This is the first time Meri is getting love. Meri started to like staying in the orphanage.After staying there for three years, Meri's mother took Meri in with her. Now Meri is in fifth grade.Now Meri is very happy. Because this time her dream is coming true. The dream of staying with mother. But after going ther she started feeling alone again Doesn't a child need a mother to grow up? What does mental health need? Can't we let every child stay with its mother for at least a certain amount of time? So that he can spend his childhood happily just like other five boys and girls!
