I am almost 60 years of age now. My husband also died. So far I had a life mixed with sadness and happiness. Now my children live their family lives serving the country and the society, following their father’s footsteps. Now my wish to live happily with my children and grandchildren, devoted to the religion and as an ideal mother in the society and, to die peacefully.

දැන්නම් මගේ වයස අවු: 60 ක් පමණ වන අතර දැන් මගේ ස්වාමියාත් ජිවතුන් අටහර නැති නිසා ජිවත් වූ කාලය තුල මම ජිවිතයේ දුක සතුට මැද ජිවත් උනත් දැන් මගේ දරුවනුත් හොදට සමාජයේ පවුල් වශයෙන් රටට සමාජයට වැඩ ඇතිව පියාගේ ආදර්ශයන් ගෙන ජිවත් වන අතර දැන්නම් මගේ බලාපොරොත්තුව පවුලේදී දරුවනුත්, දරු මුණුබුරන් යන අය සමග පිනක් දහමක් කරගෙන සමාජයට ආදර්ශ මවක් හැටියට ජිවත් වී මිය යාමයි.

நான் இப்போது 60 வயதிற்குள் இருக்கிறேன். என் கணவர் இறந்தார். இதுவரை நான் துக்கம் மற்றும் மகிழ்ச்சி கலந்த ஒரு வாழ்க்கை இருந்தது. இப்போது என் குழந்தைகள் தங்கள் தந்தையின் அடிச்சுவடுகளைப் பின்பற்றி, நாட்டையும் சமுதாயத்தையும் தங்கள் குடும்பத்தினருக்காக வாழ்கிறார்கள். என் குழந்தைகள் மற்றும் பேரக்குழந்தைகள், மதத்திற்கு அர்ப்பணித்து, சமுதாயத்தில் ஒரு சிறந்த தாயாகவும், அமைதியாக இறக்கவும் நான் இப்போது வாழ விரும்புகிறேன்.
