kiss of death
SYNONYM FOR THE END - ABRUPT, HARD, IRREVOCABLE
When the death of someone close to you approaches, thoughts come to your mind at the same time.
Among them creep thoughts that are laden with feelings of guilt. It hurts to realize and know that you can no longer say THANK YOU, that you can no longer say what was always important to you, what was always in the back of your mind, perhaps even for a lifetime, but which never found its way out of your own heart and into the heart of the other person.
Why this hesitation and pushing it into the future? Why actually? Why? Patience, there is still time. At some point.
Mistake. Bad luck. It's not YOU who decides how much time you have left. This fact is somehow suppressed. And you can be robbed of this opportunity in a flash, by fate, by DEATH, which takes no account of you or your sensitivities, plays its own game and laughs in your face, ICE COLD.
At this point, I have to say it again: I am happy for my last years, grateful for what life has laid at my feet, happy for the work and effort I have invested in myself. Thank you for that, life!
Why? Because I doubt that I could have cried before the way I can today. About the death of my mother.
What remains are the simple, beautiful memories. Memories of the joy I felt when I brought my mother a bouquet of flowers. Great joy for her, ultimately even greater joy for me.
THANK YOU, MAMA! See you, for sure, one day.
