The Cooling Stream

It was two years ago.

Mother passed away peacefully on the 18th of September.

Everyone was around in the hospital on the previous night, praying and crying with her.

Mother was perspiring continuously and breathing heavily with difficulty.

We were worried and kept looking and nudging one another.

Mother looked calm and she talked to everyone of us, always with a sweet smile.

Mother looked thin, tired and pale, and so much older.

It was 10 p.m. when she waved at us, asking us to go back.

But we lingered and stood very near to her.

We prayed together.......

Mother fell asleep.......

It was very late........

Mother woke up and asked us to go back again.......

We held our mother’s hands and bid her goodbye ...... one by one.

It was with a heavy heart and great sadness that we left the hospital.......

Mother passed away....... peacefully early in the morning.

It was on the 18th of September.......

Few brothers were there to bring Mother home.......

Oh 18th of September.......

It will always be a day when all Mother’s children, grandchildren, great grandchildren....... will come together as one to pay her respect and honor.

Oh Mother, thank you.......

Oh Mother, how we miss You.
