If Maria Wilma Ajayi Aranez Was Alive Today, December 20, 2017, She Would Have Grown Older.

in life •  7 years ago 

The thing is "sleep just wouldn't come", instead tears came freely and it didn't seem many, for it welled my eyes lightly but then i tightened my eyes slightly to see if this well was well for real but this particular one, started to overflow and it was ocean of tears instead. I prayed and let them flow and tiny sleep left me. 

I was thinking of her on this particular night and her beauty and her brightness and of our fights and of her shine (the one she lost) and of how i wished she was here with me and bright and we could laugh and play and fight and i missed her. 

But sleep had left me

Hahaha, the thoughts flowed still and the tears flowed in accordance and i arose from the bed to clear my head a bit but why should i want to clear my head of this sad beautiful pictures. I love her there is no doubt and i want to be sad that she is not here and happy from the precious love i have for her. 

I want it mixed, i still very much want it mixed. Hahaha, i so loved her.

And I Prayed

My prayers have changed slightly these days. Hahaha, i feel like she has to forgive me. I do feel that i didn't fight for her well enough but then i would think, "why was there a fight in the first place?"; if this precious woman with all her intense suffering was allowed to leave our midst due to terminal illness, afterall her suffering, then how much of a fight can i have put in. 

I do pray that she forgave me even with the last energy in her frail mind, even as was losing life; "oh i know she would", because she was full of love and she loved us.

On her last day, even as her mind started to grow frail and her consciousness started to desert her, she remembered her mother tongue and she prayed all in it and all she mentioned in beautiful prayer was "anak" (child).
 That woman was praying for us and it was in Tagalog and i heard it. gosh; gosh; gosh, she never spoke in Tagalog to us, for our first language was Greek; she never prayed in Tagalog for us (her prayers were always in English) but this very time she did and it was for us; "oh Jehovah please listen to this particular prayer for us!"

I Arose From The Bed

My tears abated, thus, i tried to sleep but the tiny sleep that i may have had in me had left me and normally i would stay in bed to get some rest, since sleep is normally scarce in my case but my inclinations weren't settling down as they kept wanting me to rise;

 but my inclinations aren't me and normally, i would take charge; "it is time to retire and rest, for tears have come and are retiring and i have resolved anew".

I didn't!

Hahaha, i arose from bed and i paced my tiny room a bit, then i tried some "stretch to my pelvis" to boost its grit and soothe my stiffness and pains. Then i ended up here, on this PC because i thought "steemit" but i ended up on Facebook first.

An off-key move!

Normally, i don't visit Facebook that much. I do check on Facebook messenger, using my phone but that isn't Facebook itself. 

But alas, i found myself checking Facebook first, upon opening my laptop and the first thing i spot is this notification:


You know, the main Facebook account of Maria Wilma Ajayi Aranez was converted into a Memorial-type account automatically by Facebook, days after she pass away. 


Basically, we lost access to it as she didn't know that she had to set a legal maintainer of her account, incase she dies or perhaps, she knew but she didn't expect that she would die. 

But hey there, i forgot the days as it has been flying faster recently. Each day has easily become the same to me and each date or so i thought, till i saw the date was December 20 (as seen in the Facebook notification on the screenshot above, from an old Facebook account that my mum used to have, that isn't her active one) and my tears flowed anew. 

I cried and wished and prayed! 

I missed her and i imagined things and moments and times that we would have shared, had she been here and with me and with her shine. 

She was with my for 16 days, after we have not seen for close to 5 years but it was different! She was pretty and all but it was different, for she had lost her glow and i saw it! 

She wanted to live; she so wanted it and i do wish she lived. 

I so so so miss her
I too too too love her
She very very very loved us.


If she was here today, she would have been older today, December 20!

I shed tears but beautiful valuable tears for these particular tears, Jehovah keeps in a skin bottle and in his bosom and he will look also at these particular tears and as a result of it, sift our bad to find good in it. In Jesus' name amen


Go buy your Mama a house!

What? You don't love your mum? Shut up! Who are you, not to?
She takes drugs, so? But at least, she remembered to conceive of you; so shut up a bit. Do you know what labor pains mean?
Deem it fit, just once, to go ask your mum how labor-painful it was, when she bore you and see, if she won't cry mixed tears, from memories of it: one for the precious memory of holding your pretty being, in her hands and the other for the pains.
And if you are the first child, she will cry even more as she recalls; for the pain that bore you, was 'hot pains'.

"Wake up, and go love that woman!"

If you only knew, how much she has bore your arrogance....etc in silence; how many times, she has let you win arguments and gone to the room to give way to mountainous tears or how much she has covered up for you and bore whole-days of guilt or how much she has so wished you gave her gifts, though she has kept appearing to you; like she is needless. 

Hush and go love your mama today, even now!

for the support of your beloved mama - i resteem your post

When you speak about your mama I feel something strange... I feel that I know her long time ago... I feel that you are speaking about my mama.... maybe coz I had exactly the same circumstances? May be coz she died with the same disease? I don't know but all what I know and feel that your heart is still broken like mine... All what we need to say now is That ...god bless their souls and be in paradise... Be strong @surpassinggoogle @ourmamaterry I will pray for her to be in peace

I shed a tear or two. I remembered my mom. She passed on too. She could walk many kilometers on foot to look for my fees.

If you have a mom who is alive, treasure her. Love her

Take heart man. Just do what your mom would expect you to do and that is tribute enough

I can clearly relate to the love you felt for Mama Terry... I love my mama and papa so much! ^^ Thanks to Steemit, I was able to buy their other type of happiness.. I could take them out to movies or eat out.. I could buy them some of their wants aside from their needs.. Funny thing happened yesterday.. I went out with them.. Treated my mama for a haircut... then papa arrived to have lunch with us.. then I bought them a new TV for our old one was broken and couldn't be used... I saw happiness in their eyes and I couldn't exchange it for the world... Then a guy from the appliance center approached me... He asked if I was single and if I have a boyfriend... I said no.. he said.. it's a waste... I then answered.. Why would it be a waste? I'm doing my best for my parents.. i still want to buy them a house... hahah.. yes, I want to buy them a house.. someday.. I surely will...

Mama Terry in heaven, you are so lucky to havr a very thoughtful son... you must be a wonderful mother, too. ^^

Happy birthday to Maria my mom is also Dec. I guess I am one f the lucky ones with my mom still alive at 92. She maybe difficult at times because of her disease but I am bearing with her because she is my mom. Prayers for you too Terry.

Heartly loved her.

Nobody will stay forever with us. We have to leave on day too. We just have to pray for the departed soul. At the same time, have to take preparation for our own eternal journey.

Dear Maria, happy birthday to you. Although, Terry always miss you badly, the endless joy you have brought to his life still brings warmth to his heart. On your birthday, I know, Terry's wish is for you to be happy in heaven right now.

"Mama "that is the most sweetest words to hear from a child.My heart beats happily everytime my babies calls for me " Mama" because of they are scared of Mumu (scary thing).My eldest @Jimbarcelona loves to call Mama in sweet way because she wants me to buy something to buy for her which made me smile.The more I love them so much everytime they call for me.I have already bought my Mama a house I love her even she chased me and my children away.One of the happiest moment that I cannot forget that I told her "Mama I Love You".Nothing compares with Mama Love.My heart feels sad when your sad Terry.. Im sure your Mama dont want to see you sad.If she can only be beside you forever Im sure she will love to be with you forever.Mama cannot be replaced this is the most precious since we open our eyes in this world.

I feel you Sir. Last night after our Bible study, I cried when because I remembered my father who lost his life without us, his family to his side. He died in a faraway place where only my aunt cared there. Everytime I recall that stage in our life, I am paranoid but God helps me to move on slowly. You are very lucky you hug her in her last breath. We will see them again sir. I always dream of my father. It has been a year but seems like it happened only yesterday. I wanna cry aloud but what can I do? If I cry throughout the day he will never come back so we need to do our best in order to accept the reality. Indeed, reality is the sad truth.

Looking forward that we'll see and hug our moms again in paradise earth. Just like you, I always remember my mom when a supposed another year adds up. My mom died actually a day after she turned 59.

My heart hugs you.
I can feel through your words what is happening to you. During the duel we experience so many emotions and our mind never stops, we will always find reasons to blame ourselves "and if I had done" or "because I did not do that" Why now just when ... ".

With the departure of a loved one, suffer those who remain here. Crying helps us release these emotions. Live your duel, this is good.

It is also good to move the pelvis.
.
Try to forgive yourself for what your mind tries to accuse you. Be good to yourself. We are humans. "Permitted errors" ¿remember?

Your mother has always been proud of you. The mistakes, if they existed, for her do not count. The love of sons is all that a mother needs. You love her very much.

You and your mother will always be united, only now she are in different forms. You do not need your physical body, whenever you need it, just feel that she is there, next to you. She hugs you, kisses you and takes care of you.

Remember that your mother wants you to be well, attends to this desire.
And this includes not only the mind, but also the body, sleep, eat well etc.

Tqm.
