My mum died New Year's eve morning 2021. It was a sad loss for me and more because I didn't get to see her before she died. Luckily and mercifully she left the world quickly without prolonged suffering. The morning I planned to get to the hospital is when I was told to sit down. She was a lady with a great sense of humor and a friendly spirit. She was born in Cyprus and lived in a village on a small farmstead. My grandfather kept a couple of donkeys, sheep, goats and chickens. There were pomegranate, almond and orange trees. Their place was at the top of a hill so you could see down to the sea. It was green in those days. Mum, you are beautiful and I miss you so much. I've had a whole year of grief and didn't expect I would be so up and down as I am. Please forgive me if I hurt you and know that I've forgiven you all because I know now you were just looking for love, just like all of us.
