I Never Left



Letter to My Son

My Dearest,

It may be challenging for you to grasp, but understand that my presence endures.

I did not depart; I remain the shoulder that cradles your innocent tears, the warmth your soul seeks, the smile that imparts solace and comfort, and the companion envisioned for your life's journey.

Regrettably, I left prematurely, leaving you to traverse life without a mother. In our final moments together, I sensed your desperation, loss, disbelief, and the loneliness you bore as a result of your tender age.

From the depths of my darkness and pain, I attempted to connect, reaching for your soul even when physical proximity eluded us. Despite my unwavering determination, I fell short.

I departed too soon, and you faced the world alone.

When you feel prepared, our spirits will reunite. In this realm, tears, hugs, and smiles are obsolete; time holds no dominion.

You will sense my essence not through earthly senses but through the perpetual flow of my boundless love.

I never left; my love for you is eternal.
