An Obituary

Mom

It has been a year now. . It is still hard for me to believe that you are no longer here (In this world). I call your number once, twice, thrice….not believing for a second that you are long gone. I call for you in the night when I need water; I talk to you in thoughts when I face any problem. I tell you about the heavy traffic every single day I come back from office. See! I have your photo clutched tight in my hands every time I can’t sleep in the night. When I go back home I seek you as soon as I reach. How could it have happened? How could you be gone? How do I know you are not here?

 I haven’t even gifted you the solitaire I promised, I haven’t built a home for you, I haven’t told you stories of my promotions, I haven’t shared my success with you.

Heck! You don’t even know my girlfriend’s name yet! I have not done so many things and now they will remain incomplete forever…..Miss you so much mom.

My lips are itching to say the words ‘Come back’ but I know his harsh truth that you cannot.

So here I am dedicating my life to you, to your dreams, to the things you left unsaid.

I love you mom, I will always do.
