You may be thinking that this is a love story. No, it isn’t.
I had shifted to the US ten years ago and hadn’t stayed in touch with my family. I couldn’t even to attend my father’s funeral and was very sad about it. Today, I was anxious to meet my mother and all of a sudden, I got a message that she would reach the city by five in the evening. My joy knew no bounds and I rushed to the airport and to my surprise…
I noticed that she was bald. On enquiring, I came to know that she had stage 3 cancer and had undergone chemotherapy. Oh! The last time I would see her was on her deathbed! Oh! How I wanted to die that very instant! I took a day off from my office at Google. We went to malls and talked about my life and other things. We had the time of our lives.
Then at eleven in the night, I felt her body go cold and soon after come the saddest moment of my life. I had lost my first love. I deeply regretted my decision of coming to the US and leaving my family for my career. I realized that family is the most important thing in this whole universe. I plead you to at least stay in touch with your family so you don’t have to live through the kind of grief, regret and pain I do.
