My mother with her grand children at home in Coventry. |
My mother was a simple, shy woman and the only make up she ever wore on her face was her smile. Her gold nose stud, her pair of gold ear rings and her gold neck lace were the only jewellery she ever wore which signified her marriage status. My mother was peace maker in the family and well loved too. My mother was god fearing religious woman and had to fend for her self and the children when my father deserted her.
I accepted the fact that her Hindu culture had to dominate
the final journey of her life on this planet; I had no right to object to her
life in the next world, especially when she had a hard time in the life on my
planet she left behind.
What I did do with my mother’s ashes was the most important
journey of my life; the story unfolds in the next chapter, headed “taking my mother to Heaven”.
