I Miss the Woman Who Held Me Together When Life Was Falling Apart.

Indeed, there are a whole lot of people we can miss. Talk of our friends back then in school, colleagues at former places of work, neighbors and all. It's normal and it's very human if we miss people.

And thinking about this topic now, a lot of people came through my mind. A whole lot that I wasn't finding it easy to make mention of one person. But then, I decided to talk about these one person who means the world to me. I have found myself thinking about her a lot differently these past few days and I can't even help but to talk about her.

I'm talking of no other person but my mum. The most loving, sweetest, caring and understanding woman I know. She's the one who stood strong for me while I was scared, she kept her hopes alive for me even when mine was shrinking.

I just miss her kind of, I miss the way I call her 'Iya Ope." I miss that smile she always gives me, I miss the various heart to heart discussions we do have. If you know me and my mum, you will testify to the bonds we share. We talk about various and different things, she finds it easy confiding in me and I find it easy to confide in her too. There are times I would see the tension and all in the room or while we are discussing serious things and we would just find a way to do something that will make us laugh... Just to ease the tension.

My mum is also the best cook I know, there are times I wonder how she cooks her food. The food might not be much, there are times there won't even be enough ingredients and all, and still she will cook it like that and it will come out beautiful... Like, how?

Honestly I miss her food, especially those ones where the ingredients are not always enough and will still taste better than those that have all the ingredients.

I also miss the way she advises me and correct me. She still does that, but its on the phone. But you know there's always a difference, you can't compare a phone call to one where we sit side by side.

I also miss the way my mum calls me. Especially when she needs to get my attention or calm me down, there's that particular name she calls me that would make me smile and calm down no matter what.

I miss my mum. I miss her, hopefully we will see each other soon
