Grief is something that one cannot run from; one minute you are okay, and the next, you are teary remembering your people.
This was the case for the South African singer, songwriter, and TV personality Lerato Moipone Molapo popularly known as Lira, who remembered her mother on her 69th birthday.
In an Instagram post, she shared that her day was bittersweet because she missed her mom a little more. She stated that she did not have much to say. Meanwhile, she hoped the poem by Christina Rossetti she shared on social media would sum everything up perfectly (just like her mom would say.)
The poem titled ‘Miss Me But Let Me Go,’ detailed that when our loved ones die, we should try and get better and live our lives. However, it is okay to miss them, but death is a journey that everyone needs to take, and they need to take it alone. As painful as it is to lose loved ones, at the end of the day, the show needs to go on.
Closing her caption, she expressed her love for her mom and said they would see each other on the other side.
Some people may remember Lira as the woman who conquered a life-altering stroke that happened when she was on a trip to Germany to perform. It affected her ability to speak, read, and write.
