”Some people make the world special just by being in it.”
I remember thinking a long time ago that it was impossible to have an agape sort of love—a love that is absolute and all encompassing—an unconditional love—a love that transcends all else. I have found it with my Mother. I am at a loss of words to describe my Mother. My mother was everything to me…..my teacher, my counselor my cheerleader, my caretaker; but most of all, my best friend. On 17th of September, Mom made her transition into spirit. I cannot even explain my feelings of loss….never has anything hurt this bad. Not a moment goes by that she is not in my thoughts, and I just wish I could’ve held her one more time and told her how much she meant to me, how much I love her. I know this love as beautiful, as powerful, and as strong. It is a love that is all accepting, without conditions or limitations or prejudices.
It’s an unknown turning point
There’s fear everywhere
Everything appears foggy
In a moment something is lost
The sky is pale
Breath is frigid
Shadows had separated from body
In a moment something is lost
Breath flows haltingly
Body feels like it’s been peeled
On broken dreams, Your world survives
O! light of the God
Tell me where are You hidden
O! light of the God
Don’t take Your gaze away from us.

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. If you were once connected with someone, does it make sense that the connection is broken just because of a physical death? No, the connection stays. You may just have to listen differently. You may just have to talk differently. The truth is that the connection is never broken. It’s quite impossible to break the most powerful connection in the universe. As long as you exist, the connection stays. Those we love don’t go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. My mother is always in mind; forever in my heart. “The life of the dead is placed in the heart of the living.” (Cicero). Forever in this heart of mine, an everlasting bond, you’ll stay, until we meet again someday.
“The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced. Every other wound we seek to heal - every other affliction to forget: but these wounds we consider it a duty to keep open - this affliction we cherish and brood over in solitude.” — Washington IrvingThey say memories are golden
Well maybe that’s true
But I never wanted memories
I only wanted you.A million times I’ve needed you
A million times I’ve cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died.In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a special place
No one could ever fill.If tears could build a staircase
And heartache build a lane
I’d walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again.To hear your voice, to see your smile
To sit and talk with you awhile
To be with you the same old way
Would be my fondest wish today (anonymous)“You know that place between asleep and awake, where you still remember dreaming? That’s where I will always think of you.” —TinkerbellMom when they said you were going to die
I refused to believe it could be true.
How could I allow myself to even
Imagine saying goodbye to you.Mom you were an Angel here on earth
I learned so very much from you.
You were so gentle and so kind your
Smile would always see me through.You taught me how to love unconditionally
And how to be my very best in all I do.
You gave your all to God and your family
Never once stopping to think about you.You were more than a mother you were my
Best friend and a great listener too.
Oh how I miss our special talks, and
All the fun things we used to do.Mom I can never say goodbye to you,
Because I could never bear the pain.
Instead I say I love you Mom
Until we meet again.

A lot of us miss her terribly, but I know she’s in a better place where she won’t feel any more pain and where she’ll stay forever young. Its my humble request to all of you who are reading this to offer fatiha for my Mom and pray for her maghfirat. May Allah in his mercy grant her rest, May Almighty Allah dwell her in Jannatul Firdaus (the most beautiful paradise). May Allah make her pass successfully in all the stages of the life after death. May God give her eternal rest and may her soul rest in peace! Ameen.
