Mama's Lament

I understand now, what you felt seeing me slip through the well to go to him. Tell me, if you had had the power, like I did, to stop me, would you have used it—like I did?

How did you stand it, the terror, the feeling of helplessness as you watched your little girl slip away? I miss her, my daughter. I miss our talks, and all the little things that made us close. Did you miss me like that? I'm so sorry if I caused you pain. I didn't know.

She's so young. I tell myself she's not ready to brave the world on her own yet. Why am I having such a hard time with this? I know she will be safe, but it doesn't stop the worry that eats away at me. Is she happy? Could I have somehow made it better? Why did she want to leave me? I know it's not really about me. I let her go after all, didn't I?

It's ironic that I didn't know how much it cost you to let me walk away with a smile on your face until I found myself in the same position. Only I couldn't smile. How did you find the strength, all on your own? If it weren't for Inuyasha, I don't know if I could have done it. He is my rock.

Mayumi will come back to me some day. It gives me hope for the future, because I never stopped loving you. I miss you, Mama.

Kagome put down her pen. “Inuyasha!” she called. “Hand me the phone, will you? I want to call my mother.”
