A Hug From Above

This was a thought I had yesterday. It had always been a thought every time, every time that I, every time I wear that Flower Collection dress I bought from year 2000.


Mommy liked it so much. She wished she would fit in it, so she can have it. Well, it fit her alright in 2005. She always wear it whenever she has an appointment at the PGH. Three months after her major operation, Mommy succumbed to Gastric CA. I was then five months pregnant with my daughter, Leecia.


A couple of months after Mommy's cremation, my younger sister, Shirley, returned the dress back to me. I always hugged it. Makes me feel Mommy. She did not get to see Leecia. But they both felt each other. I just knew. Many times, Leecia would tell me that she met Mommy in heaven and that she was given Dora toys.


Many were the times that I was so down and low. Pregnancy and the death of a dear Mom were 2 conflicting joy and pain.  Memories of Mommy flooded me. I cried a lot.


I was her first child, her first love. I felt loved even when she was gone. I felt hugged. It has been 6 years since I bought that dress when I saw its back label. And it showed at a time when I was missing Mommy. It was very uncommon for clothing labels, actually. Front label was 'Flower Collection', back label was 'GOD ♥s  YOU'.


I always love you Mommy. Thank you for the message. God truly is amazing. I was hugged. I am LOVED.
