අම්මා වෙනුවෙන් - Amma Wenuwen 2 -
You are not just my mother. You are my first home. My first teacher. My first love. But Amma… I need to say this too. I carry guilt. Guilt for the times I talked back. For the times I chose friends over you. For the times I forgot to call, forgot to ask how you were feeling. For assuming you’d always be there, like the sun—effortless and eternal.
So here it is. From my heart to yours, Amma. Not perfect. But real. Did you enjoy this post? Share "Amma Wenuwen 2" with someone who needs to be reminded of their mother’s love. And if you haven’t read Part 1 yet, stay tuned for the link below. අම්මා වෙනුවෙන් - amma wenuwen 2
Looking back, I realize now—you hid your pain so well. The headaches, the sleepless nights, the dreams you kept on hold… all so I could chase mine. In "Amma Wenuwen 1," I thanked you for the little things. Today, in Part 2, I thank you for the invisible things. The prayers you whispered when no one was listening. The tears you cried alone. The strength you wore like a second skin. They say you don’t truly know a mother’s value until you live life on your own. And they were right. You are not just my mother
I’m sorry.
When I struggled with my first failure, you didn’t lecture me. You simply said, "නැගිටින්න. මම ඉන්නවා." ( Get up. I am here. ) When the world told me to be strong, you told me it was okay to break. And then you helped me pick up the pieces, one by one. My first love
Because one day, the chair she sits on will feel empty. The kitchen will feel quieter. And you’ll wish you had written your "Amma Wenuwen 2" sooner.
