A Tribute to My Mama dearest
We are nine in the family and each one of us has different characters. My mom was also surrounded with difficult people. But how did she deal with us? With full of love and understanding. She told me once, that she has also attitude problem but each morning she would ask for God’s forgiveness and the Lord never get tired of her. She said her prayers at 4:00 in the morning without fail. In spite of so many adversities in her life, I am honored to learn from the way my mom lived and loved.
“Her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love.” – Luke 7:47
The passing away of my mom was the lowest point and the most difficult time in my life. Letting go of the crying, releasing the grief and the healing of loneliness are too easy said than done.
“Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.” (Psalm 62:8b NLT)
During my mourning, I learned the real meaning
of empathy. I become more prayerful. In pray for all the departed loves ones and all souls in purgatory. To the real persons who wept and comforted me in the most difficult season of my life, I thank you from the bottom of my heart-- I will always be indebted to you.
I would not be like what I am now if not because of my mom. To you my mama dearest, your memories will always remain in our hearts.
Going to my gardenhouse reminds me of the loss and it triggers the pain. Most of the times, I find myself both crying and laughing as my house has full of my mom's good memories. Slowly, I am in the process of going to the path towards healing. Sharing with you some photos of the last contribution of my mom in my garden house. Aren’t they lovely?
- Key to overcoming loneliness is to “STOP BUILDING WALLS AND START BUILDING BRIDGES
- I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love. –Mother Theresa.
