Remembering Mom




I thought she'd stay with me for long
Even if she didn't in my heart she'll always belong
We didn't bond as much she being soft spoken
There is much to say about her am truly beholden.

Her words are few her taste so simple
When she's angry in silence she'd struggle
She took care of my when am away
How she handled their riot she wouldn't convey.

On mornings her preparations for breakfast
Plates with a pair of bread buns milk in each glass
A hotdog a peeled hard boiled egg for the
This daily ritual became our constant regiment.

She’d give my their everyday “baon” to school
Cash or some packed food in each of their lunchbox
She’d pay more attention to the youngest of my brood
I remember Simon wouldn’t budge without his two bucks.

Her passing was too sudden efforts to revive all in vain
Told to go home by her cardio to observe her chest pain
While resting she blurted a snore my Dad saw her pallid
She was rushed to ER but she had already gone like a thief.

She taught me how to identify fishes sold in the market
How to dress a chicken then to cook tasty beef brisket
Missing the way she’d cook local veggies it’s sumptuous
I got her crocheting skill which made me so arduous.

Her perseverance is her virtue my best admiration
She stays at home never indulgences on frivolity
You buy her what’s extravagant she’s not happy
But to market she loves going to buy our ration.

A typical housewife she’d also do the gardens
We had plenty of daisies and bougainvilleas.
She converted light curtains as my house clothes
Nothing is wasted she’s very fond of recycling.

Those are my memories of Mom whose photos I lost
She was once a carnival queen according to one cuz
A meek person you hardly hear her ever talking loud
Never argumentative when pissed she’s just quiet.

It's been more than 2 years now since I last saw my Mom. I would have gone on vacation last April of 2020, but then Covid came as a pandemic, and all the family plans were shelved. I miss my mom. She does not even remember me anymore being that she is now suffering from dementia. I just wish things will be back to normal, so that we can all be reunited.

i know how it can be too frustrating to be wanting to go back home and be with your loved ones...most especially if there is mom to go back to...though she can be suffering from dementia, her physicak presence alone is enough to make you feel consoled that she is still there..i have lost my mom at my age of 35, it was a real struggle missing and wanting her to be with me and my children, especially that she took my place with my children when am out working...it took more than 5 years for me to wrestle with that bad feeling..(sighing).
