Street of Heidelberg #streetphotography

Every time I open my European adventure album, I get heartbroken and grief-stricken. But I have loads of pictures that I really want to share here but time is the only essence. It took me 3 years to have the courage to open that album as it was difficult for me to recall those memories we had together. I am still mourning and missed her...

Its been close to four years, but I always end up having teary eyes each time I reminisce those memories we shared when you are still around. Its gets even worst on the 2nd Saturday of May as everyone else would be celebrating it with their own except for me. I will never forget you Mom, you'll always be in my heart and I will love you forever.

Apologies but I really need to get it out from my chest as I rarely talk about my grief over my mother's passing and I still loose my mind every now and then. They say time heals but for me the process takes forever and I kept loosing a piece of me during the process. I kept telling myself not to dwell in the past but its is not like a stroll in the park. I wasn't ready back then and up till now I still have lots of why and what if questions in my head.

I could go on pondering about it till the end of days but that would never bring her back so the only wise thing to do is to deal with the loss. This is not going to end in a positive note as I am still struggling with the pain but talking about it does make a little difference.

Heidelberg a college town they called it as a quarter of the city populations are university students. I was in awe of the vibrant old town and at the same time I feel a romantic vibe in the air. Perhaps its the location as it is situated on the river Neckar in south-west Germany or it might be the ambiance of the Baroque style of the old town, Heidelberg Castle (Schloss) or Philosophers' Walk that would showcase the scenic views of the old town and castle.

We drove about 80km from BadSalzhausen and this was one of the rest stop to our main destination. I wish we stayed overnight but I guess that would be another day and more excuse to return. From what I remember, Mom loves coming back to Heidelberg as she had been here before. It was a chilly spring morning but she always had a smile on her face and could hardly walk.
