I have nothing else to say except that you are in my prayers. Also, please do not be unreasonable when it comes to dealing with your own self. Loved this post. Thank you for writing.

A moving piece, Binu! <3

Loved these lines:

“You are angry as you watch those tears stream down

because of all the things you can handle on earth

her tears are not one of them.

You are angry because she doesn't blame you.

You are angry because she agrees with you”

Beautiful poem and a touching note. Hope your daughter recovers soon.

Loved reading it. And I like the double meanings for the word 'mum'.

wow - beautiful poem. I felt the weight of regret but the beauty of a hopeful tomorrow. You do not dwell in the past, but you're looking to live each day a little better. You are such a good mother to your daughter!

There won't be a single adult alive, who doesn't have regrets. But you decided to ensure not to have regrets in future..., that is great..!! Love you..😍😍

Very late to this! The rhythm, the structure, the emotions were all perfect. This was a tough read for too many personal reasons. Love your writing and looking forward to reading a lot more from you...
