My Dear Amma

How time flies !This day exactly a year ago,you left us.I cannot express what I went through-the pain, the anguish, while you lay in the ICU, sometimes conscious, sometimes not.Ten nightmarish days, and on what seemed to be the longest day of our lives, we sat around you,dreading that moment, watching you moving slowly to the other world.I could but only pray for your peaceful end. Under the calm façade, I was crying and reminiscing countless memories.Being your eldest child, I have been constantly with you in your life's journey - your most difficult times, your joys, your sorrows, your very poor health,everything.


At some point, roles were reversed. I became the mother and you, the child to be looked after. Your constantly calling me Rajimma keeps ringing in my ears. You were a difficult person, but we children tried our level best to make your life comfortable. I have learnt so many life's lessons from you, which make me the person I am today. I am sure you are watching over us from wherever you are . I miss you Amma !
