“It’s been 12 years since I held your hand, 12 years since your last hug… 12 years since we were in the same room. Missing you really doesn’t hurt any lesser and it really doesn’t get any easier. Time isn’t kind, it in fact makes me fear that your memories are that much further away from me and that they may one day completely escape me. Time makes this grief more intense, because the fear of forgetting your voice, your touch, your lessons, your hugs, your warmth, your memories.. the fear of forgetting you takes over every other feeling. Ma, pls don’t let this fear come true. Living in a world without you is hard enough, living without your memories would be impossibly devastating. Miss you. Love you. Always and forever,” she wrote.
