Void of a Loved-One Gone

It was exactly a year ago when I last held her hand like this... Has she really been gone that long already?

Does one ever transcend the void of a loved-one gone? Never perhaps. Because even in the sublest and most surprising way sometimes, the memory of that beloved visits us, accompanies us, fills us. We succumb to melancholy. But then we get consoled knowing our dear departed is in a much better place now...

Mama is in a much better place now. But, i miss her. Still.
