This is a beautifully narrated story with a strong compelling opening

As long as we are still breathing and walking on the face of the earth, those memories will flow over us like shadows.

The narrative captures what it means to lose someone who has been so important in our lives and the haunting memories that remain.

My mother's favourite place in the house was the kitchen, currently the kitchen feels big and quiet. Often I would find myself expecting her to walk in from nowhere and her voice would echo in my head only to remember that she is no more here.

Excellent story!
