Mother! When this word is spoken, the first things that come to mind are a harmonious hearth surrounded by love and affection, a happy family, and the beauty of spring. For a mother, like the sun, sheds light and warmth upon her home; she is a sacred being who bestows spring-like grace upon her surroundings. Mothers are the melody of tenderness and the endless song of the world. On the eve of International Women's Day, it is truly pleasant to talk about the fate and meaningful life of such venerable mothers who have become a school of example for the youth.
Durdy Saparowa, a resident of the Beshir settlement in the Hojambaz district, is the pride and joy of her family. She was born in 1932 as the second child in a family of three. She received her secondary education at school No. 2 in her village. Her industrious nature and devotion to the native land brought her to the path of labor when she was only twelve years old. Her youth coincided with the years of the Great Patriotic War. After the men of the village went to war, heavy labor fell upon the shoulders of the women. Durdy Saparowa recounts how she worked in the fields by day with other women and spent her nights knitting woolen socks and gloves for the front or weaving carpets by the light of a wick lamp. After marrying Hezzi Gochow, who served in the Great Patriotic War and showed a great example of defending the Motherland, she began working in a farmers' association. For her honest labor and high achievements, this hardworking woman was honored with awards several times.
As the saying goes, "A tree is known by its fruit, and a person by their offspring." Today, this venerable mother has 3 sons, 4 daughters, 36 grandchildren, 88 great-grandchildren, and 5 great-great-grandchildren. Being the owner of such immense happiness, she rejoices in them and enjoys the fruits of this prosperous age. In her radiant face and gentle smile, one can see family harmony, love for her children, and pride in a peaceful life. Despite being nearly a century old, her fellow villagers and relatives are amazed by Durdy Saparowa's activity and vigor. To this day, she teaches her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and neighbors the fine secrets of the ancient arts of carpet weaving, textile making, and embroidery, providing advice on restoring ancient patterns.
Durdy ene is proud of the nation-benefiting and state-important work carried out by Hero Arkadag and Arkadagly Hero Serdar for the prosperity of the Motherland and the well-being of the people. She proudly notes that the blessings of this wonderful era add years to one's life.
As the Honorable President noted in his book "Youth — the Support of the Motherland": "Unity, hard work, and showing respect to the elderly generation have become a life norm for our people over the centuries." Thus, whenever someone in the village celebrates a son's wedding or a daughter's marriage, they seek the white blessing of this dear mother.
"Currently, thanks to the tireless efforts of Hero Arkadag and Arkadagly Hero Serdar, we live enjoying a prosperous era. To live appreciating this wonderful time and to breathe freely the clean morning air of a peaceful Motherland is the greatest happiness and the greatest gift for us," says the happy mother, Durdy Saparowa.
