My Guardian Angel

March 5, 2015, at 2 am. At that time, I felt weak, lethargic, and helpless. My heart is beating so fast, my
chest is tight, only tears can express my heart. That's when I heard the news that my mother had died. I
couldn't say anything, I woke up my two younger brothers and hugged them with my grandfather. I
couldn't continue my sleep, as if the world wasn't alive. Exactly at 4 am, it was heard that someone had
broadcast from the mosque, it was an announcement that my mother had passed away. I couldn't bear
to hear that, fear, anxiety, and worry mixed in my frantic mind. It's all hard to describe. I feel like turning
back time to change destiny.

All my family gathered in one place for my mother's funeral. I could not bear to see the tears of my
father, my brothers and my family. Everything that happened in the past is now just a memory. I have a
lot of regrets. I used to be unruly, I was spoiled, I was a nuisance, I didn't pay attention to my mother, I
never accompanied my mother in her difficult times, I never helped my mother in her difficult times, all
of which I deeply regret until now. Honestly, I was closer to my father, but after losing I feel so much
sacrifice and strength that my mother made.

My mother has gone through her three years of pain battling cancer, the cancer cells have spread
throughout her body, the pain and cancer she is going through is not easy, every day I hear her screams.
I was very sad when I heard the scream, I felt it too.

But after a few days of walking, I realized that if God loves my guardian angel more, my family and I
began to be sincere and learn to be independent to live life. Even though Mother and we are in different
worlds, we know that you are still our guardian angel even from a distance. We can only pray for the
best for you here, Mom, there you can calm down and not be in pain anymore. God loves you more
ma'am.
