Hello everyone, hope we are fine.

Friends come, friends go, but memories always remain. Building relationships with people who are good and kind makes life very sweet, and if these people part ways with you, it is always very hard for you to move on. I know that moving would eventually happen, but it can be so hard for that to happen.
If I have the opportunity to invite a guest this Christmas, I would love to invite my late mum.
Just last week I sat to think about everything that has happened, the love we shared, the bad times, the good times, those times we cried and those times we laughed. These thoughts kept ringing in my mind, making me see the reason to see Mum again. I told myself that if I have the opportunity to see Mum again, I would just stay for a while with her without saying anything to her.
I miss Mum so much that I won't have any thoughts the second I see her again.
I would just have to prepare a bouquet and make it a very special one, then call everyone around to come for it. I'll set a big table filled with different kinds of dishes, including international and local dishes, and I'll make sure I get the best kinds of wines in the world. My mum actually went through a lot for me; she made life very beautiful. Although she is no more, I still find peace whenever I think about her.
Mum was everything to us; she was there for so many people, she was so selfless and unique, and she never had problems with people. Mum would always encourage me to do better and usually say that life will not be fair if I do not work and earn a living; she always tells me what to do and how to do it. I remember the first Christmas without her; it was very hard for us to even make any food.
We did not want to do anything, but when we summoned up courage to cook, we later ate the food with mixed feelings.
Another set of people I would love to invite are my friends at Enugu, Nigeria. During my service, I met people who became my family, and they were so close that I could not do anything without them. I love people who have big hearts, and I am always very excited to be with them. I'm going to miss them so much; I really wanted to stay with them for Christmas, but it did not work out.
I missed these so much; I know that everything is fine with them.
Just this evening, one of them called me and asked if I would come back, but no, I said. There is this feeling you get when you have been with people so much, and maybe one or the other makes you people part ways. It can be so emotional, but all the same, I am parting ways for the better, and I hope that one day when we see each other, none of us will be in shame.
