For the first time in a while I held my cords again; created something; checked this page; took photos for content; and posted it in public.
It’s been a year since you left us but everything still feels like yesterday. I can still vividly remember what happened on that day. From that time that my sister made a fateful call to when I finally saw you and everything seemed to stand still. Your passing left a void in my life. I felt lost, lonely, and could not even fathom how to start again.
It’s been a difficult year for me. Losing you meant that I lost someone who supported me and this small project unconditionally. You never failed in listening to me and all of my crazy ideas. I had a list of projects lined up, and it’s sad that I can’t show them to you anymore because it was just too late.
I had no one to talk to about my grief, and only now did I want to share how I feel. Too often, I felt like my problems weren’t important enough to be heard. I’m still hurting, Ma, but I’m slowly trying to get back with my life. A week ago, I made this small piece, the most I could make at this time (and the only thing that can fit the niche).
I’m far from ‘okay’ but I hope creating this small wall hanging for you will help me heal, cope, and live again. I love you so much and I miss you everyday, Ma.
To everyone carrying a heavy heart in silence, it's gonna be okay… someday. 🤗
