Dear Mummy,
Do you know that not a single day goes by without me wondering whether you forgave me for all the times I have wronged you?
For all the times I lied to you.
For all the times I raised my voice at you.
For all the times I ignored you.
For all the times I made you feel unimportant.
For all the times I disagreed with you.
For all the times I gave you the cold shoulder just because you wouldn’t let me do things my way.
For all the times I hurt you with my words.
For all the times I made you worry.
For all the times I made you cry.
😥
I am not proud of what I have said and done.
I am not proud of the fact that I didn’t have the opportunity to kiss your hands and toes and ask for your forgiveness before you left.
I do not know what was going through my mind, going on thinking I was right. And everything you said was wrong. 😦
You were always right.
I know I broke your heart a million times. And I won’t ever be able to forgive myself for that. 😥
It seems like only yesterday that you were sitting on the couch in front of the television. You were always there for me. You always listened. From stories about me scoring 90 in an exam to the annoyingly painful zit in my nose, you never failed to listen.
I still keep the text message I received from you, advising me to boil some bitter gourd, soya beans and salted vegetables and drink the soup for my pimples. Sadly, that’s the only message from you I kept. 😦
I don’t remember a single time that you never had a solution for whatever shit trouble I got myself into.
You were always so proud of me. No matter how small the achievement was. 😦
You were such a strong woman. Compassionate, sensitive and kind. You always put others first before you.
I wished I was more like you. 😦
I am no match to who you were.
I wished God would at least grant me strength like yours, to help me get through the remainder of my life without you.
Only God knows how bad I want you to be at my graduation.
Only God knows how bad I want you to be at my wedding. Remember how we planned it ? 😦
Only God knows how bad I want you to be able to be with and play with my children.
Only God knows how bad I want to be able to buy things for you with my own money. To make you happy. To take care of you. Like how you did for me.
I long to look at your beautiful smiling face again.
I long to hear your voice on the phone, calling to check on how I did for my exams.
I long to read the text messages you would send asking me whether I have eaten.
I long to hear you laugh at my lame jokes. Gosh, I miss the sound of your laughter ! 😦
I long to hold and touch you.
I long to sit in front of you and talk and talk and talk.
I long to listen to you talk. Or nag. Or complain. I don’t care. I just wanna hear you. 😦
I long for you to help me understand.
Nothing will ever be the same again.
I will never be whole again. Never.
xoxo
