The one I lost

There are good days and bad days, then there are worst days. But on 3rd April 2022, I faced the disaster of my life. The day, I wish was never created in the history of mankind. This date is forever blacklisted in my life and I wish this day could be rolled back.

Why so dramatic you might think? What did I lose?

I lost my smile on that day

I lost my sense of life on that day

I lost my stability on that day

I lost my hope on that day

I lost love of my life on that day

I lost faith on that day

I lost myself on that day

I lost my mom on that day.

My mom, my strength, my person, my lifeline, reason for my smile. I lost it all on that day. I did not just lose a person, I lost everything on that day.

My mom was only 67 years old, She had just gone to India after staying in USA with me for 2 years(due to corona and her immunocompromised health). Finally she was planning to meet her family after two years. But just 3 weeks after she left USA and landed in India, she left, she left so suddenly. I was planning to go visit her in May once she settles down. I had initially planned to go with her, but that did not happen .

It was so sudden, I spoke to her on 1st and after that she was sick, sick so suddenly, she was surrounded by doctors, each saying nothing to worry, but she proved each of them wrong and just left.

3 weeks in India, did not meet anyone of her family, its like she just went to India to leave the world.

The tragic nature of her going added to the loss. We had basic dreams all left unfulfilled...

A life lost, but shattered pieces of so many left behind. I am one of them
