This picture shows the bangles that she brought with her when she first immigrated to the USA from Bangladesh. My dad immigrated to the USA through his Diversity Visa Lottery. Later, he married my mom through an arranged marriage and brought her to the USA. She became a  naturalized citizen around 2007, by the time she had me and my sister. She had trouble adjusting in the USA because she was unfamiliar with the culture and society of USA. However, she did not give up and tried her best to learn to adapt to a new culture and way of life. During that time, her only significant financial assets were those gold bangles.
