Mummy...

The past few weeks have been a turmoil for a very close friend of mine. I remember writing on family, on my mom, on life without her. I could never imagine my life without my mother, but there is no need to for my friend, there is no need to think how life would be like without his mom, how much he would miss her if she was gone. Yes, Benjy just lost his mom. She passed away becaused of cancer.

I'm glad I was able to provide a source of comfort through out his ordeal, from beginning to end. It may not seem very similar but I too just lost my grandma, in some ways, I can understand his feelings and am able to comprehand his situation. The pain is indeed unbearable, as you come back to an empty house everyday and yet seeing memories of your mom everywhere in the house. "hey thats my mom favourite chair", "mummy whats for dinner?" seeing photos of your mom just unearthed all the suppressed emotions. its not unusual for me to be chatting with him happily one minute and the next he would be sobbing.

I've learnt much and because of this it has further strengthen my love for my family. time is short, lets not waste time getting angry with our moms for nagging, believe me you wouldn't want it to be gone. we do not even have time to properly love our family so lets not use the little time that we have to quarrel with them.

have u hug your mom today? Have you thank her for making your meals? Have you spend time with her? Have you told her you love her?
