Hi everyone, welcome to the Hive open mic week #203 music community.
My name is @Sessy and I'm so excited to be here again this week.

Firstly I'd like to thank everyone who took their time to welcome me last week especially @jesuslnrs , it made me feel so special and super welcomed, i already feel like i belong here, and i must confess, it’s such an honor. I appreciate you all.

The theme for this week is:

MEMORIES

And in regards to that, I'd be singing a song by Celine Dion, titled "Goodbye's (The saddest word)

Whenever i listen to this song, it brings back MEMORIES of when i lost my mum every single time.

I lost my mum in 2013, and it was such an awful experience for me, the fact that I wasn't there when she passed away and couldn't bid my last goodbye breaks my heart so much.

I was in another man's country (Ghana) and couldn't come home to Nigeria due to school and other stuffs..
I couldn't even go to class for a whole week after hearing the news.

Losing my mum was really painful for me and I would always sit home and cry all day listening to Goodbye's (the saddest word) by Celine Dion. It was my own way of saying goodbye to her.

To lose a loved one is a very painful experience.
Everyday, i wish it was just a dream and that I'd wake up from it someday.
I miss her all the time and all that i have left of her is MEMORIES

I never got to say my last goodbye, so i do it with this song whenever i listen to it.

SONG LYRICS

Mamma
You gave life to me
Turned a baby into a lady
And, mamma
All you had to offer
Was the promise of a lifetime of love
Now I know
There is no other
Love like a mother's love for her child
And I know
A love so complete
Someday must leave
Must say, "goodbye"
Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word, and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say, "goodbye"
Mamma
You gave love to me
Turned a young one into a woman
And, mamma
All I ever needed
Was a guarantee of you loving me
'Cause I know
There is no other
Love like a mother's love for her child
And it hurts so
That something so strong
Someday will be gone, must say "goodbye"
Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word, and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say, "goodbye"
But the love you gave will always live
You'll always be there every time I fall
You are to me the greatest love of all
You take my weakness, and you make me strong
And I will always love you till forever comes
And when you need me
I'll be there for you, always
I'll be there, your whole life through
I'll be there, this I promise you, mamma
I'll be your beacon through the darkest nights
I'll be the wings that guide your broken flight
I'll be your shelter through the raging storm
And I will love you till forever comes
Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word, and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say, "goodbye"
Till we meet again
Until then
Goodbye.
