Life is green,
Life is brown.
Life begins,
Life ceases.
That which flourishes, withers;
That which thrives, shrivels.
As I sit here to ponder,
my memory fades and wander.
When I dream of you tonight,
caress me and hug me tight.

If a good memory is a blessing, then being reminded that life isn't meant to be forcefully CONTROLLED but rather to be SHARED lovingly with everyone is a comfort to my soul.
Months ago, my mother, who died of cancer, can no longer hold her cellphone in the same way she used to. She had lost so much strength that even a small device presented a challenge to her.
But she was so resilient.
A few days before her death, she managed to reach out to her cellphone and video-called us for the final time, most likely motivated by her desire to bid us farewell without saying anything.
For a few moments, I was given a rare expression of love that I will forever cherish in both my heart and mind.
She may not have had complete CONTROL over her fate, but she did SHARE a lasting memory.
And that was a good thing.
