The last time…
Quote Of The Day: “A bend in the road is not the end of the road, unless you fail to make the turn.”
…The door would not open at first, but then I remembered to push harder and it opened. I was instantly taken back by the familiarity of the room before me. It looked the same, everything was as I left it.
I turned and closed the door and my eyes continued to absorb everything in the room. It was then that I first noticed it…the smell.
To a stranger, it would most certainly smell like smoke, but to me it was the smell of my mother. It was the smell of her love.
I turned on the light in the tiny living room and looked at the toys that once belongs to me. I saw her slippers and the crossword books she did at night as she watched television.
Her comforter was folded on the corner and the pillows that held her beautiful head were strewn just the way I remembered.
My fingers wanted to touch everything in the room, but I would not allow that, not now. I sat down on the corner of the bed and held one of my stuffed animals and I smelled it again, her love.
Just as quickly as the tears came, they left only to be replaced by anger. I don’t know how long I sat there alone in the silence. But that was the last time I visited mum… I hope that’s not the last…
err, cheer up my friend. View all comments by andylkw
Hi Angel,
Take it as part of life. We will never always get what we believe is right and justified. We will have to value add to make it better to satisfy our expectation. Cheer up! View all comments by Maverick
