Indeed, like sand in the wind, today it’s here, tomorrow it’s gone. My mum is gone. She died at 4:40am this morning.

"My consolation is that in her lifetime, I gave her not just everything that money could buy, but most importantly, I gave her my presence, my time, my everything. On uncountable occasions, I will go to her house to hug her and play with her for no reason but love, the kind that only sons share with their mums. I love you, mum, and I miss you. This one hurts so bad. Forever yours." "I know what it is like to lose a mom in death. It hurts in a way nothing else will hurt you. Irreplaceable. Void. But God will heal you Sir. Be strong. May her soul rest in peace." "May her soul rest in peace. May God strengthen you and your family." "Your beautiful mum. May her soul find rest with the Lord. My sincere condolences sir, to you and your entire family." "My condolences. May her soul rest peacefully in the Lord and may God grant you and your family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss." "Commiserations, may her soul rest in peace, Amen. She indeed lived long enough to enjoy the fruits of her labour, as you celebrate her life, May you be consoled that , she has gone to be with the lord at a ripe old age."
