When I found out yesterday that a friend had lost her mother recently, it evoked painful memories of my own mother who passed away many years ago.
The death of a loved one, leaves those of us left behind, with an utter sense of loneliness. At that point, you cant think beyond the tears and overwhelming numbness. You ache, wishing to wake up from this nightmare, only to find that it is a painful reality.
But with time, the tears stop, the pain lessens and you hold on to the memories of times spent together, of conversations shared, the lessons taught and the sheer joy of knowing how special your bond was.
All mothers are special and for those of us who are blessed to have their mother around, treat her with the love and respect she deserves. Pamper her, like she pampered you as a child. Don't ever forget that you are the person you are, because of all her sacrifices and selfless love.
Miss you ma....
Very touching and got me emotional too. I think we take too much for granted, even our loved ones. When they are gone do we realise their value and how much they meant to us. However, the memories are wonderful, and will always remain in our hearts forever. A mother holds a special place in our hearts that no one can ever replace!
ReplyDeleteVery true....all I know is that we were truly blessed to have her in our lives.
