I regret turning the phone silent (#135)
My mom was my real source of motivation, she motivated me in everything I do.
Her words of courage have always been my strongest piller of success.
Her look and smile anytime I tried to live house for school, giving me a great reason to go out there and achieve.
My mom was my best, closest and secret friend since I was a kid.
There was so much connection between us when we were together, even if we were not together.
We always miss each other when one is not around, but we will spend time on the phone so as not to miss each other.
My mom makes me feel always like the most precious Princess in the world.
But one day my story between mother and daughter ends up becoming sad forever.
I use to be the happiest child since that day, but things changed and I become so sad.
One unfortunate day, a day I will never forget or forgive myself, the day I made the worst mistake in my life.
The mistake that brings me sorrow, for every time I remember what happens it brings a fresh wound to my heart.
On this unfortunate day, I was urgent because I was almost late for a lecture.
The lecturer will not allow any student to enter his class after 15 minutes past the starting time for his lecture.
Not just that if your phone rings during lecture time he (the lecturer) will ask you out of class.
Because of that, I have to run not even waiting for mom's beautiful smile, I have to work straight to school.
Before entering the class I always turn my phone silent so I will not get cut and asked out of class.
The unfortunate part of this is my phone was inside my bag ringing, so many missed calls from my mom.
She was trying to tell me I forgot to live my room key, her inhaler was inside my room, and she needed it badly.
My mother was an asthmatic patient, she was not able to lay her hand on the inhaler until she passed away (so sad).
After class, I saw so many missed calls from my mom, I had to run home at once.
Seems like I know that something bad has happened to my mom, but I choose not to call to go home at once.
When I reached, I met my mom, laying dead on the bed with her phone in her hand.
I regret turning my phone silent with a better mind and so much pain.
Since then I never switch my phone to silent no matter how important what I am attending to at the moment.
This was a sad story told by a lady a few days ago.
