Hi everyone, welcome to my blog. One thing i have got to know in this life is that, life is full of events and these events of life can either be positive or negative. So it's which events of life that come to us that form our memories, which means, our memories may be positive or negative. It all depends on what life brings to us.
Having said this, I would like to talk in response to the topic of the prompt before me that says, what particular memory would i love to erase if i am permitted to erase a memory from the memories life have brought to me.
Well, if I am to be sincere in my response to the prompt, the one memory i would love to erase is that memory that brought hopelessness to me in life and that memory is the death of my mum.
The death of my mum, which I have talked about on so many occasions, came to me as a rude shock and this is because I was not so prepared to live a life of my own when she departed this sinful world, so, immediately i received the news of her death, i was filled with hopelessness and it's like the world is over for me, the future seemed unrealistic to me and it's like that was the end for my shining and brighter future.
So, anything I had was a reflection of how she died and her burial with all those obstacles that came my way. I used to be like such an event shouldn't have happened to me at all as it was really a bitter pill for me to swallow.
Although I have come off the rude shock that came with her death, the challenges of life that accompanied her death still live with me everyday of my life.
This morning, I still had a reflection of her lifetime and what she would have done for me if she were to be alive, but since she was no more, everything seems to be like an empty life without a benefactor.
Although I have been living my life and facing the challenges of life by myself and with the help of God, still, it's like I have lost a piece of what makes up my life.
So, the memory of her death is one of those bad memories i would love to get rid off from me and this if done or erased completely from me would help me concentrate on what to come and expect and also, it would help me forget about the past and live a new life without her being in the picture. But I don't think this would be possible as the effect of a mother on her child cannot be erased completely even at her death.
This is my entry to the hiveghana weekly prompt.
Thanks for reading.
