My mother

5 Years ago today January 3 was the last time I spoke with my mother here on earth.  She was called home by God and went home to God.  She was the beauty queen of her village when she was young. She became an obedient daughter and married my father at age 23 as it was arranged by her mother and his parents.  She was an excellent wife and mother.  She supported my father in all the ways of life, they were a great team of parents.  They told me that they fell in love with each other after 12 months of marriage over my birth.  They were married for 24 years until father died of lung cancer.  I have never seen 2 people more in love than my parents.  She was shy, soft spoken,  gentle and a very traditional lady.  She gave birth to the four of us daughters and then twin sons.  She made her husband's heart sing in all the ways of life.  I remember them very very well as I am the oldest of the bunch.

When father died, her world was shaken and she missed him everyday.  She never remarried.  They are together again now in heaven. I am glad.  I miss her so but I am glad for them.
