It was Eid today...the first one without my mother. I tried so hard to be happy, to smile the way I used to, to let the day feel like Eid again… but it wasn’t. Every moment felt heavy, like I was holding my breath, swallowing tears before they could fall.
In this world, it was always just the two of us...my whole little universe wrapped in her presence. And now, she’s gone… leaving me alone in a way I never imagined I’d have to endure.
Everything was the same, yet nothing was. The laughter sounded distant, the joy felt borrowed, and my heart kept searching for her in every corner of the house. Even the walls of my home felt like they were closing in on me today, as if they too knew she was gone, as if they were quietly swallowing me in her absence.
This year, I did stitch a new outfit like I would on every Eid but what was the point? She wasn’t there to see it, to smile at me with that warmth only she had, to tell me how beautiful I looked even on my simplest days.
Last Eid, we had made a small, happy promise..next Eid, we’d both wear purple suits. I remember how excited we were, how easily we believed we had time.
And today, Eid came… but she didn’t.
Ah, this fate....it has a way of taking away the very things that make joy feel whole.
I miss you Mom, I miss you so much
