Mortality

Copied

Had the worst scare of my life last night.
Went home late as usual, dead tired.
My routine is to check my phone
for my Mama's messages.

I waited till around 1100 pm
and there was nothing,
not even a seen mode.

I began to cry for my mom,
I was so frightened that something
grave has happened to her and I
just cried my eyes out.

I felt so helpless.

I called all her numbers,
messaged her on our usual
social apps and then I contemplated on
calling her work place.

I managed to get hold of her
after several tries.
She went home late from work
as it was so busy.

I cried again and she told me that
she was just fine and to stop bawling.
God, mothers!
They brush everything off
like its nothing.

I love you Mama!
