Mum calling

I was doing so cleaning and opened a bag I have not seen or opened for some time. I opened it, and inside was a tape.

I played it, and for a few moments there was just blank. Then suddenly, the familiar sound. The motherly sound. The way my name used to be called by my own mother. Unmistakable. Much missed. Painful.

"Weiwei..."

I burst out in tears. It was mum... Mum recorded a message for me. My mum's voice before she died... Voice from beyond the grave... Heart wrenching. Painful...
