A new normal




When I was just a wandering soul, being born as a daughter was a new normal
When I started going to school, being with friends became a new normal
When I fell in love, being showered with love was a new normal
When I started earning, living independent became a new normal
When I got married, sharing my life was a new normal

When a new life started to grow in my womb, the excitement became a new normal
When my son was born, the joy of life became a new normal
When I watched my son grow, the strengthening of my bond became a new normal
As my son became a teenager, unconditional love became a new normal
When suddenly he left the world, his absence became a new normal.

As years passed by, a life without my son around has become a new normal
Learning to live with the biggest void has become a new normal
Learning to laugh heartily by hiding the inner grief has become a new normal
Learning to lead a normal life as if nothing happened has become a new normal
Learning to count my remaining days has become a new normal

Learning to live with all the beautiful memories has become a new normal
Learning to live with the fear of losing those lovely memories has become a new normal
Learning to view all problems as small ones have become a new normal
Living with the hope of meeting my son in the other world has become a new normal

Living with the hope that that day would come soon is the new normal...
