My cousin Asha lives in a foreign country. Her parents used to live in India. Asha will call her parents every month. With time, Asha became busy with her in-laws' family and children. She used to call her parents on the phone after two months.
One Sunday, Asha called her parents on the phone. It so happened that her #mother picked up the phone. Up to Asha's surprise, her mother was in a totally different #mood. Asha was confused to hear what her mother was talking about on the phone.
Asha's Mother said, "Dear Asha, I have come to #end of my life journey road. I am so happy you are doing well in your life. Please keep working hard #honestly".
Asha, "What are you saying, Mom? Why are you so different today?".
Mother said, "My life sun is going to #set very soon. Please stop worrying about me. Please do not #remember me very often. I know you are missing me. I request you, please do not #gloom when I leave this world. Rather feel happy, a noble soul is #set free. Remember the #love and heart-to-heart talks we shared."
Asha said, "Mom, you are in my heart, and even though you are so far from me, you are there every #moment with me."
Mother said, "My child, you know that this #last journey I have to take #alone."
She further said, "Dear Asha, take care of your family. When you feel #lonely and #sick at heart. Please visit to dear friends who know me and share all the lovely #memories of things we used to do as mother-daughter duo. Please do not miss me. In doing so, you will not let me go #peacefully".
It was time for Asha to prepare to go to school. Alarm bell was ringing. Asha Woke up. At the same time, a phone call came from India, "Mother is #no more!. She is set for her #last journey".
Asha's ear could not believe her ears. Echoes of her words in her dream"#Miss me not, my child. Let me go #peacefully home."
A moral person's life journey is full of ups and downs. Everyone's last journey is unique in the sense that one has to travel #alone in that journey.
