It’s been four years since Mum has passed away
Four years, where has that time gone?
I still remember the events surrounding the announcement,
Hurry, Mum is dying and it’s only a matter of time.
Anyway, I was hurrying as fast as urban traffic would allow,
Worst, was I had to use a cab, because the Family members
couldn't get me.
The cabbie, was jovial and asked where I wanted to go, I
said can you step on it,
I need to get there as fast as possible because my
mother-in-law is passing away.
Sure, as fast as I can and I will pray for her to wait until
you get there,
Thanks, that’s kind of you, he was a religious man, and
what’s your Family like?
So, we discuss the details about each other, our Family and lives,
And, how we manage to cope, with the pressures as we age.
I was struggling with my own issue and that was chemo and
radiation,
This was a distraction that was painful and helpful. I was
thinking about someone else.
There is no use worrying about your selves when ours will
need the support to cope.
Finally, we arrive and I take a big breath and face another
trial in the life cycle.
Four years, times go by too fast and we are now remembering
a special person,
That has left, one life and started, a timeless other, with
Her Heavenly Family.
We think this way to comfort ourselves and explain to the
young children,
Why GG has died and where is going, it’s tough as the
questions asked, are simple, yet not.
