My Mother's Death

                 When I hear the song “Glowing Inside” it reminds me of my mother. This song is all about the things that our mother do to us and how should we treasure and thank for those things. As an individual, our life will not be complete if we don’t have a mother at our side to guide us as we grew older. When we hear the word mother what comes up in our mind that best describe our mother? Does the word mother mean everything to all of us? Will it be difficult to grow up without a mother?

                 Every time I hear the word mother, there are really words that come out of my mind. The best word that I think that will best describe all the mothers is the word loving. We all know that all mothers really love their children very much. Nowadays, we can conclude that almost everything in this world has a price that money can buy but we should always remember that there are still things that money can’t buy and one of it is the love of our mother. Our mother is the one who is always there when we are still babies and until now that we are already teenagers. They are always there to guide, to protect and to help us in our problems. Probably, most of us will say that their mother means everything to them. Sometimes when I am alone I am thinking that maybe mothers are born for us to guide us on how to be a good individual. Mothers are born because God wants to assure that even all the people have turn their backs to you there is still someone we are sure that will be always there and who will never turn her back to us.

                It was December 21, 2005, when my mother gave birth to my younger sister and after 2 days we were about to went out at the hospital. We were just waiting for our father because he was paying the bills and all things were packed. Then suddenly, there were something weird happened to my mother. Because I was just 6 years old that time I don’t know what I should feel but I know that my mother is not okay at that time. I was really worried to my mother that’s why I asked my father to come with me at the small chapel inside the hospital. That time I was already crying a lot while praying to God not to get my mother at that time. As a kid, I don’t have yet enough knowledge about death. I know that my mother is dead already at that time but there were still questions in my head at that time. I don’t know why he got my mother from us. I can see my father was very depressed at that time and I can’t think anything else that I can do to make him smile.

                As I grew up it was really difficult for me to recover in that incident. I felt like there is something missing in my life. I have been with my mother for 6 years but I think that 6 years is not enough to show my love for her. Because of this incident I learned to be a responsible one. I also learned not to be selfish; I have learned that I should first think my siblings before my own happiness. I should act mature than before. I know that being the oldest among the three of us, I have the greatest responsibility. I learned to be contented on the things that I have and not to ask for more. As I grew older I know that these happening will still shape me to be a better individual as long as I want to. The best lesson I have learned is that we should cherished all the happy memories with our loved ones because we can never do that happy memories again when they are already gone.

                We’ve been through circumstances in life to make us a good individual. These circumstances made us to realize the things we should not have done. If we don’t experience circumstances how can we be a strong person to face a new circumstance if we cannot overcome the first one. We should always remember that circumstances will never let us down.
