One Day I Dream
20 years ago today. But it still feels like it’s only yesterday since I felt your gentle, loving touch. And it feels like it’s only been this morning when I kissed your cheek as I left home for school. It wasn’t seem that long when I felt bad and I needed someone to cry to, and you were always there to comfort me and make me feel better. It’s been two decades since you left, but you remained in our hearts forever.
Remember when I was just a kid and I told you “Ma, I don’t want to see you getting old, please stay young forever so you don’t die”. I never really understood what life is all about during those times, but my brothers and I were overwhelmed by your unconditional love and made life worth living for each moment. It’s been a great 12 years spending it with you, ma. I could only wish we had more time together. You have always been the best person in this world, and we thank you for that with all our hearts.
I miss you everyday.
