Goodbye is not forever

It's just five days since you departed the world. Though i was not there in your last minute farewell i am assured by your constant reminder - you trust the Lord for every thing that might happen to you. I am not ok emotionally since your demise but i take comfort in knowing you are rested and definitely in good hands.

A mother like u defy the vilenes and cruelness of the world especially when you were only alone in trying to give a decent home to six hopeless children. You have practically less in wealth to meet our ends, however, you weaved a solid solution to strengthen our pillars and characters.

You took care of my simple school needs which inspired me to seek higher knowledge and gained my wisdom. You kept reminding me of my strong points when i needed them most. In my most trying times u were there to share the agony and in my highest moments u kept my feet grounded.

I am crying because i wasnt able to comfort u even just to show my presence. I believed you dont blamed me working miles away from home. Our situation was not a chosen circumstance for personal reason but as you pointed out in my departure i travelled because the family agreed upon. My deepest gratitude for the great understanding.

I may travel alone now but i am bringing with me your valuable teachings which guide me in facing the turbulent life. Your thoughts will surely lift me higher ground and will continue to help me in soaring the promising horizon. Magsukul Inah.
