“All you want is Mama’s arms”

Thursday, November 2, 2000 is a date that I will never forget. That day, my life, and my future changed. That is the day that my mother passed away unexpectedly. The phone call from my sister will forever seem like a dream…like an outer body experience full of disbelief. Something that you can’t imagine or even consider at the age of 28…and I remember just wanting my mother to comfort me and tell me that she would be there…all you want is mama’s arms.

The funeral preparations and ceremony seem unreal and dazed…like a movie you watch from the corner of your eye…flicker of images…people’s faces that you haven’t seen for a long time or even remember ever seeing…flowers filling the coffin and the room…saying goodbye…food that doesn’t taste anything…people crying…people laughing over good memories…people offering comfort and condolences…but all you want is mama’s arms.

Your graduation, your wedding, the birth of your baby…the death of your father…you feel alone…you feel like something is missing…the overwhelming sadness…and all you want is mama’s arms…
