Today, as I lie down on the bed,
I see the empty space and the pillow where my daughter rested her head and dreamt of so many dreams-some I know and some may lay hidden in her heart.
She has gone to fulfill her dream of becoming a doctor, the dream she has been cherishing for many years.
Her smile on the photographs, her text messages with emojis are now my constant companions and I adore them to fill my empty spaces.
There was a time when I was busy and she had ample time, but now the game is different.
I wait for her messages and miss her cuddles when she hugged me on my days of exasperation.
She is my pillar now, my friend, my guide who fills me with strength...
