A Letter for Mom

Back in college, I was staying in my aunt's house. She was cleaning some old photos and files. We were looking at the random yellowish pictures scattered on the floor. Then she handed me a paper. It was brownish and a little crumpled. I carefully opened the delicate paper that was over two decades ago. I noticed there were hand written words on it but didn't realize it was a letter until I started reading it. The blue ink is starting to fade and some words were missing but manage to finish it.

It pierced my heart knowing that it was a letter that my mom made for her mother who died on December of 1975. It's was during Christmas time when she wrote this.

This letter struck my heart deeply that I wanna go home right away. That I wish it would be Saturday so I can tell and show it to mom. That auntie Fe kept her letter all these years.

This letter is full of hope, sadness and grief of a daughter who longs and wish to touch and be with her mom once more or only that Christmas eve. To lessen the pain and hurt she was feeling that cold, lonely night of December.

I hope this inspires you as well. That is it never too late to show your mom or dad how much you love them. Words can mean so much. Actions take place if you're out of words. Before it's too late, before they're gone....
