These and much more is all i ask from my mother,but i receive no answer,because she's been gone for 10yrs.I was just 10yrs old when my mother died.Its been a decade but the pain still lingers,its so sharp,i feel it like a knife pierced through my heart.Although i have just an old unclear picture of my mother,i can never forget her face,or anything about her.My mother was so radiant,loving,caring,peaceful and a solace to everyone that needs her.
I remember memories,in these memories there were moment i was rude to my mother,i am sorry for for everything i dint say or do for her,i guess i never thought you could die so soon.I always thought you would see me graduate from secondary school,i thought you would help me fill out forms for tertiary institution,i thought you would be there on my matriculation and on my graduation you would beam with smiles and be happy that you were there for me.I remember when you told me that i was your sister,so i should feel free to let you know everything that was bothering me.I thought you would be the one to take care of my children,the way you did of I and my siblings.
Some night,i feel so lonely without her,i can not sleep and i think and imagine what could have been our life if she was still here,Her death has caused scars that can never be erased in my heart.As the years goes on,i found out i am getting stronger and accepting reality,i am no longer the little girl that cries her heart out thinking those tears would move Allah and he would send my mother back to me.but now when i think about her,I Pray,hoping we would meet someday in a happy place.
My voiceless heart wants her closer
But i know she's in a better place.
Her face dwells in my heart
And i will relive memories of moment we spent together,every time i remember her.
I celebrate your life well spent.
