My Dear Children,
Know that I'm never far away from you...
When Mamma's gone far beyond your reach, know that your happiness will always comfort me. Celebrate me when I'm gone - in your birthdays, in your small and big victories - it would make me so happy to see you move forward. We never move on from grieving our parents, but, move forward we must.
Let your children know how much I loved kids. I hope life gives me a chance in time to weave precious moments with them. I want to be the coolest grandma ever!
I want to bake for them, read to them, have them over for sleepovers where I can spoil them to bits! We could craft adventures to cherish forever. Oh! How I would love to take a thousand pictures with them!
Still, I would have to go someday. And whenever I do, seek comfort knowing that I'd be happy to reunite with my loved ones, InshaAllah. Pray for an eternal life of happiness for me - Mamma will be okay.
Be wise in the choices you make but don't be too harsh on yourself when you make mistakes. Making mistakes is the only way to learn in life. Apologise when you mess up, when you hurt someone. Mean it. Mend your ways. Reflect. Forgive others.
Forgive yourself.
Take responsibility of your decisions. But, more importantly, allow yourself second chances. If you're unhappy in a job or, in a relationship, move. You're not a tree. Just move. I read that somewhere and it changed my life! If you think you still can't move, then make plans to move. You'll eventually get there.
Remember, 'Please', 'Sorry' and 'Thank You,' are magical words that open doors to everything - people and opportunities. Plus, its just nice to be nice.
Go out of your way to help others but not at the expense of your mental peace. 'No,' is another magical word - use it when you want to, even with family and friends. Those who appreciate your boundaries will understand. Those who don't, can move on.
You've got one life, make it worthwhile! Be mindful of your blessings and objective about your challenges.
Enjoy your life - for yourself, and, for me. I'll continue to live through you.
Lastly, know that you're always loved. If you ever miss me so much that you'd want to recreate me from the dead, come back to my writings. This is my home. You'll always find me here.
Love you lots,
Mamma
