There are people so vivid in life that they seem not to disappear even when they die...
And for all these days I found myself having to come about and force myself to encounter the fact that my mother died...hmm
I realized that I still...even NOW

Expected to meet her once more…when I went to her house…sometime when I ring on her cell (which is taken care by my elder sister who is still in Pakistan) and want to talk sensibly about all the foolishness I have done during her funeral…

I want to share the list of guests…we had…the calls I received (for condolences) and also how I managed to let her go….on her funeral.
All…the minor details I had been through- in which case she would probably have laughed…scold or make angry faces to me….or may be just pat my back.
