梦一场

It has been nearly 2 weeks since my mil passed on, none of these days goes past without us missing her dearly. The sorrow of losing her is so much felt here, especially for a son who lost his mum forever that the only thing left for us is the good old memories we have with her. Hubby looked after the mum for the longest time. He took the mum out for lunch when she was still fit and cook for her because the mum simply loved his cooking. He was her pillar of strength throughout the entire journey fighting against cancer. Slowly, she lost the ability to walk and he made the wise decision to go back and keep her company. It was only for a week until she passed on. How time flies that even that, my hubby felt that it wasn’t enough that he should be given more time to serve the mum. One day, he came home to ask me, how would a family function without mum. The place we call home would be different without the queen and CNY too would not be the same anymore. But I guess it’s a relief to let her go to a place free of pain and sorrow. Things are always easier said. It happened just too quickly that even the wake and funeral were over, we still felt though she was still alive. My mil is one of the greatest women that I have met. She raised and gave me the son whom I call husband who takes care of this family selflessly. I learnt so much from her and secretly wish I could raise my own like her. Now that she is gone, nothing is really left here except our prayers for her to be free from sorrow, fear and worry.
