Miss you Mom

 

 

 December 28th 2024

Couple of more days to leave this year behind and to enter a brand new year of 2025. I am sitting in a Coffee house. It's a festive atmosphere. Not many young people are here. 

Most of the people are around my age, enjoying the company of their choice. Youngsters are busy with their take out orders. Drive through is very busy. It's 11.30, I am enjoying my small tea and the atmosphere around.

Weather is good 2C, it is like summer for us in Canada. It's drizzling. I am going to Tim Hortons to enjoy my walk and my morning tea. I will put my cap on and will dress up properly. No worries. We have to manage circumstances to make our day.

Sometimes we have to open up our memory box to dig out our golden moments, we spent, enjoyed and saved, to lock up in our memory box. Same is drizzling for me. 

It reminds me of my childhood period. I used to get out in the rain and after a while my mom used to shout at me, “ come inside, you will get sick. “. It used to bother me a lot at that time.  

I started thinking now we can do things of our choice. No one is there to stop us. I think no one cares what we are doing. I don't know, we are lucky now or at that time when we were checked for things we liked to do. We used to dream about this period of our life. I am not sure. What we got and what we lost.

I don't know whether we are lucky now or were at that time. I miss you Mom. You were always there to keep track of my life. Now I have to do all that. It's a big responsibility. I realize now. 

You did that. Managed to track so many years of my life. I salute you. It's too late. I know. I think you must be watching me from upstairs. Hope so. Love you.
