Tearful Farewell

My friends and relatives talk about mourning as if the sense of loss grows smaller or more manageable over time, but I’m not so sure. Maa left me today . And there is a strange feeling every year on this day . I start my day as if she is alive and will leave me exactly late in the evening at 10:15 PM . The gaping hole left by my mother’s loss can actually feel like it’s getting larger every year .
