| A LETTER TO MUMMY: I love you mum and I miss you so much Dealing with your loss is just very painful It is so difficult to go through the day without having you close to me I am so sorry for the nerve-racking days I have given you with my sickness, attitude, studies With just being me You have always been there for me You stood by me every single moment During my childhood sickness In the hospital even before and after You worked three jobs to make sure I am healthy, happy, and educated You always told me the best gift in your life is seeing me graduate And I am happy I granted you that wish mama Your liberated me You guided me You gave me choices You allowed me to make my own mistakes You always encouraged me and believed in my ambitions You simply trusted me You never complained You always smiled You were there for everyone except yourself How selfish I feel for ever causing you pain For making it difficult to raise me up I’m only good and successful because of you, Mama I have to admit to you how much I feel So weak and vulnerable without you You’re the greatest mum anyone could ever have I don’t know what I have done in my life To deserve a loving mother like you So many sacrifices How can any one person go as far as you did I hope I was the deserving daughter I hope I was the friend in your life Like you were to me I wish I can be like you Mum I know by my weakness I am not honoring you I am trying hard I miss our small moments together Mama I miss your touch I miss hearing you say “everything will be alright. You can do it.” You taught me everything I need to know Mama Except how to live without you I pray to god that you are resting in peace and serenity In my heart there is a selfish wish of hoping That peaceful place will be home with us I will always cherish the memories And lessons of our lives together I will always live up to be the woman You always believed in I am my mother’s daughter I love you « return. |
