My beloved

If you were to ask me what is the most genuine form of love that i have ever experienced, i would say in less than a split second that it is the love my mother had for me. The purest form of love that expects nothing in return. The best form of limitless giving. It is just natural instinct for a mother to shower her unconditional love on her most precious gift. A woman starts to love so much more from the moment she realizes she has created life. It is sad that we as kids sometimes take abit too long to realize this biggest blessing we have in the form of a mother. She gave us physical protection from the moment of formation till birth. After birth, she is our pillar of physical, mental and emotional strength all in one form. A child is always a mom's priority, she will always want the best for her child and will do anything and everything to ensure that her child is well protected, well fed, well educated. We tend to not appreciate what we have until we have lost it, something i am trying to deal with up till this very moment. The pain of losing someone at a moment that came ever too unexpected. A sudden loss doesn't give you enough time to come to terms with it. It makes you question what is the purpose of god needing to take away the only person that could care for you in a way beyond what can even be comprehended. The beauty of unconditional love is what i have learnt from my mom. It is hard to experience closure when you end up living with the guilt of not being able to return even half the amount of love that has been offered. So many unsaid words, undone actions and unexpressed emotions. The only thing that remains are those beautiful memories of what we have done and experienced together. These memories help to heal the wounds of loss. Wounds heal but scars remain. Memories being those scars, reminds us of their perpetual presence in our lives that can't be erased. It is tough to fill up the void but life still goes on. No one else can take up that space that was once taken up by a loved one, but it is alright to expand that space to accomodate the right ones in your life.
