This is one topic i have been trying to avoid for a long time. The irony is that i started writing these blogs and musings about life when my mom was diagnosed with cancer.
The pain and hurt was too much when she expired and after a gap of 3 years i started writing once again, to keep a promise i made to her to take the Journey within.
Mother, what is it that i can say which any one cannot add to or just shake their head and say yes that's so true about my mom.
With childbirth, a mother is born. My link to this world was my mom. I held her finger when i took my first step, she was the first person who kissed my forehead with a smile on her face. She was the first person who said ' I love you' to me.
When i think of her i have a smile on my face and a tear drop escaping from my eyes with hurried steps. I have realised one thing, death changes nothing. There has not been a day that i have not thought of her. Sometimes i feel her around me in my hour of need. When i am upset or sad, that's the time i miss her the most. That's the time i realise, how much meaning she brought to my life. She was my pillar of strength and my best friend. There was nothing i could not talk to her, it was amazing with her wit she would take all my faults and give me advise. Strangely i would actually follow her advise. She has been the only human being in my life who could say or make me do anything.
I never realised what i had till the time i did not lose her to time. I wish at times i had spent time with her. Always busy with my work, with my phone and my friends. I never realised the lost time with her will haunt me after she was gone. There are so many things i wish i had done with her. Places to visit, movies to watch, shopping to be done, just spending time with her and being there for her is what i never did as i was busy with my life.
I am her reflection, i cannot deny this. When i look in the mirror i see traces of her in me. I deal with certain situations just like i have all my life seen her dealing with. Many similarities yet there was a distance between the two of us. Somehow in my sub conscious i always knew she is there for me.
Today when i look back, the work was worthless to what i have lost. I cannot turn back the time, but somehow the passion i had for my work went away with her. All of a sudden it was worthless.
I made a promise that day, not to have another regret in my life because of my priorities being warped.
Many a times we face situations, where we have not enough time for our loved ones and with our busy lifestyle we let go of those precious moments, thinking we will have time later. As the saying goes" Time waits for no one" and sometimes we are lucky to get a wake up call early in life and at times we lose a lot for us to realise that what we have are just these moments.
My blogs are a tribute to my mother, a journey within for me to find true meaning of life.
