Three Seven

August 6th, 2003 - Wednesday

Thirty seven years ago today I came into this world and cried for the joy of life. Thirty seven years later I am crying again, grieving for the demise of the woman who gave life to me. Spending this significant moment of Mum�s life, and mine too, by myself enfolds me in untold sadness.

I hope I was a bundle of joy to Mum when she delivered me. The Caesarean Section scar was still distinctly visible more than three decades later. The image of that scar will serve as a reminder of the pain Mum had to go through to give life to me.

Mum�s presence is all pervading today. I can feel the essence of her encompassing all of me. I sincerely pray that Mum has found eternal tranquillity wherever she has gone to. Eventually, I too will find solace in the path that Mum took and continue to live the life that Mum had intended me to. I love you Mum. May peace be with you, always.

Thank you for the condolence. Yes, I wish I never have to lose my Mum too, but that is life. In my mind, I thought she would live forever. Perhaps she is…. immortalized in the life that she had given me.
