Life moves on

2026.06.25
Life moves on, after my mother had gone.
It hurts the way, what happened to me.
According to the Buddishm religious' theories and practices,
Human mustn't love and care for family members.
Love only their Gods and their next life.
The kindness acts, build debts to the receivers.
The best way to handle in any relationships,
Was to ignore, keep a distance, be indifferent.
Put all emotions deep down inside one heart,
Burry and act towards each others without affections.
This year, a day before the Mothers' day,
For the first time, she used her hands,
To touch my face with all her fingers.
No word nor sound, gently, softly, and slowly, 
She wipped from my temporalis to my chin.
How much I wanted that time could freeze.
For us to enjoy that intimate loving seconds.
The most happy moment from her to me,
No word was big enough to describe here.
I wished my children noticed that special moment, 
To record such a valuable and significant interaction.
Dear Mami, did you know that for years,
How I had longed for your tenderness touched,
How I would treasure forever your loving care,
How you have indirectly taught me a lesson.
To love my children, and enjoy every moment,
Of our time together however short it was, 
As I could have received loved from you.
All the positive and meaningful things you did.
All the time and places we spent together.
Did you know that I missed you? 
Your deserts making, and your healthy vegetarian cookings.
Your wisdom, your resilient and your life experiences.
Mami, what left of you was your ashes,
Proudly and silently sealed in a chosen urn.
To display on a shelf for all prayers,
To chant and to wish for them whatever.
Mami, you had completely vanished on the earth,
Please look down and bless up on us.
Your five children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
I could see you up in the sky.
Looking down on me with your beautiful smile.
Love you Mami, thank you and good bye.
