GOOD BYE MUMMY

I have been told that the number 7 is the number of completeness its been 7 months since my mother passed away and its time to say goodbye. At the funeral you are in a daze, you watch the coffin go down into the ground and its covered up with the earth. That should be the end but its not because its difficult to let her go. The children are so strong, I wonder sometimes do they cry in the night. They were her best friends, always there for her, listened to her advice, were told many secrets. We have had the priveledge of living in her house for the last couple of months,perhaps that gives us a chance for closure. The house I spent my teenage years in. How does one let go of those years. I always say thank God for memories. I believe that memories are one of the greatest assets God gave us. The ability to retain and recall experiences. I have also learnt in this time that blood does not always mean family. I have been able to let a lot of things go and its time to let you go too. Good bye mummy. You will be forever in my heart.
