Christmas is heading our way, joy is spreading, laughters echoing and gifts are being purchased.
Last christmas was strange, mum was in the hospital but the whole family, grandmas, grandpas, relatives, sisters and brothers had a mutual celebration, we were celebrating for mum as well. She layed in a hospital-bed, she could not breath, speak nor eat and her legs, arms, feet and hands were paralyzed. Her husband went to the hospital leaving us with the rest of the relatives. Christmas that year was just not the same compared to the past ones.
The past christmas-celebrations were filled with joy, lots of homemade food and treats and joy. The entire house was filled with decorations, the huge christmas tree loaded with gifts, little plush-santas and angels hanging on the walls, red, green and gold everywhere. It was magical and everyone had a smile on their face, the smells, the feelings, everything was perfect if i choose to look past the man-pig behavior from the men in our family. The one big reason to all the joy was mum, she made all the work before christmas worth it.
This christmas she is gone, dead and she has been that for nine months and one week. Although she was not next to us last christmas i knew that she was laying there in her hospital-bed and i knew that i could meet her and hug her the day after. This year she is no longer on the surface of earth, i can not hug her nor see her, all i have is pictures of her fading away the day before she passed away.
Our little apartment is decorated with some candles and curtains, the food is not cooking yet, no candy made and no mother running around singing christmas-carols. No smells, no christmas-feelings and everything feels grey, no colors, no magic.
I do not want to celebrate, the most relatives have not even called, the only thing that is planned is with grandma and grandpa. No presents under the christmas-tree, we do not even own a christmas -tree!
I have heard every possible thing to cheer me up but there is no use, the best present would have been a hug from mum but it will not happen, only in my dreams.
