Trifextra Challenge: The Goodbye

You were born on a Saturday.

And after 23135 days on this earth, you died on a Saturday.

It’s been 1326 days…since.

And I have missed you Mummy, on every single one.

I’m participating in Trifecta’s FINAL {EVER} Trifextra Challenge:

Trifecta Writing Challenge

For this final challenge, we had 33 words to write about whatever we wanted. And of course I just needed to write about my mother. I found this challenge quite by chance back in 2012 and I am so glad I made it in time for the final one. Doing this added a fun dimension to my approach to blogging, my use of words and my writing as a whole. I too would like to thank the editors for the encouragement they have always given to each and every entrant.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Please feel free to share your own thirty-three words below.

    What a sweet, poignant tribute to your mother. She’s probably smiling at you right now. 🙂

    This is so sad. It’s true that we don’t forget our loved ones after they are gone. In memories, we always keep them close.

    This really resonates with me. So many times, when we lose someone we love, other people seem to forget with time that we are still carrying that loss around day after day, but when you express it in terms of numbers…..and that you have missed her every single one of those many-numbered days…..it drives the point home that time does not heal all wounds. Very touching.

      Having gone through this I no longer believe that time heals…I think you learn to cope but you are never really healed.
