spent
3/4th
of
my
life,
42

in
this
city

state...all
that
I
have
today

"I
am
late

not
without
cause
and
reason
…I
live
with
my
Mother
today,
her
death
anniversary...
a
strong,
loving,
encouraging
Ma.
Her
spirit
of
never
giving
up
against
all
odds,
her
compassion
in
times
of
defeat
in
us,
but
her
confidence
of
all
being
well..
amazing,"
PTI
quotes
Bachchan
as
saying.
The
Mega
star
added,
"She
lost
her
own
mother
when
she
was
a
few
weeks
old,
but
never
failed
in
giving
us
what
a
mother
meant.
In
thoughts
with
my
Mother,
in
her
teachings
and
love,
in
her
strength
of
character
and
compassion,
understanding
and
encouragement."
