Nothing last forever in the world we live in as situation changes so as life experiences, people's lifestyle, age and so many things don't seems to last forever as there is a stoppage to all someday. I buried my mum few days ago which was my last respect given to her to say goodbye in a hard way. I am now an orphan which used to be something I hear and also I have visited children in orphanage home just to show them love and care for them to believe there's a better life and hope to experience someday.

It's painful to be in that position at the moment as that parental love, care, advice and togetherness is no longer there but however their memories still remain in my heart as that will remain in me forever. However, we need to understand that burying our parents is the rightful way other than them to bury their children which is not a good thing for every parent to experience but we also wish to see our parents live long.
My both parents died in their 50's which is not a good one but however we the children have reach a certain stage in life where we can hustle for ourselves for survival unlike people who weren't able to experience such opportunity. It is not going to be an easy one as the struggle for survival is going to be challenging as this tend to be a new chapter in my life.
My both parents were loving and caring as they were always there to cater for their children which however is every responsibility of a parent but a privilege to come from one that shows that much care. It is just so unfortunate that they are no more but as we know life continues as this are part of the things to witness in life.
We humans don't know how precious and important some people are in our lives until we lose them which is not really a good one. It is just advisable to be at peace with people no matter what because tomorrow is not promised for anyone. We are in an era now where we can't predict what will happen in the next minute which requires we humans to be very careful with our actions as well.
I was born in 90's and growing up wasn't that challenging until I lost my dad in 2017 which was a shock to us back then. Losing the breadwinner of the family was a tough one for my brothers and my mum but as situation of life might be we moved on for better days where we hope to turn situation for good. In our own little way of survival, we were able to provide the necessary things needed to live without bothering anyone even when things was much tougher for us.
I just feel so down losing my mum this year but God knows best as we can't question him. Life continues as this is going to be a story to be told in the future especially to my future kids. Waking up in the morning to realize I have no parents anymore is not an easy one especially when it happens to be with you communicating with them daily.
There are so many people who didn't know their parents from birth likewise people who lost theirs when they were much younger but in my own case I was able to live and grow with them which am grateful for that just that I wish to see them grow old but as situation of life might be, I just have to move on and show the same care and love to my own family and people around me.
