Rames de Rames… as we fondly called you.
Mummy, I am still in disbelief that you are no longer with us, that I will never see your smile again or hear your gentle voice calling my name. My heart is completely broken.
You were the kindest, most hardworking, and most loving woman I have ever known. You gave your entire life to your family, making sure we had everything we needed and never felt anything but love.
Mummy, we shared so much together. Your passing has shattered my heart into pieces. You were my best friend, my teacher, my prayer partner, and my greatest supporter.
I know you would want me to be strong, and God knows I am trying my best—but I miss you so much, and the pain is unbearable. I promise you that I will take very good care of Gabriella, your mother, just as you always asked me to.
Because of you, I can now walk with my head held high. You taught me the realities of life and showed us from a very young age never to depend on anyone for survival. I watched you struggle, yet your home was always open. You cared for people you didn’t even know, fed many even when you had little or nothing.
When I was going through difficult moments in life, you held my hand. We prayed together, and you told me to trust in God. Today I know that your prayers for your children went straight to the ears of the Almighty.
You left this world a fulfilled woman, and for that, we will forever celebrate you.
With so much pain in my heart, I officially say goodbye, Mummy. But I will forever hold close the memories we shared. Your legacy of love and resilience will live on in us always.
