WowKeren - Duka mendalam tengah dirasakan oleh Mike Lewis. Lewat akun Instagramnya, Mike mengabarkan bahwa sang bunda, Wendy Lewis telah meninggal beberapa hari lalu. Mendiang Wendy meninggal setelah melawan kanker selama hampir satu tahun terakhir.

"Beberapa hari lalu keluarga saya hancur karena kehilangan ibu saya yang telah berjuang melawan kanker selama hampir satu tahun," tulis Mike dalam bahasa Inggris. "Saya merasa sangat sulit untuk menggunakan kata-kata 'telah' saat berbicara tentang ibu saya."

Mike pun mengaku masih tak percaya dengan kepergian sang bunda. "Mungkin ini karena saya merasa bahwa dia masih hidup di dalam saya. Betapa dia masih hidup dalam diri anak saya. Betapa aku berharap dia hidup selamanya di dalam diri orang-orang yang pernah merasakan keajaiban dari seorang Wendy Lewis," lanjut Mike.

Mike mencurahkan kepedihannya usai ditinggal sang bunda lewat postingan yang diunggah pada Selasa (17/4) tersebut. Mantan suami Tamara Bleszynski itu menyebutkan bahwa sang bunda masih tetap memberikan senyuman ceria sampai detik terakhir sebelum kepergiannya.

A couple days ago my family was devastated by the loss of my mother whom had been courageously battling cancer for almost a year. I am finding it incredibly difficult to use the words “was” in speaking about my Mom. Perhaps this is because I feel that what she IS still lives inside me, what she IS still lives inside my son, what she IS I hope forever lives on inside everyone that felt the wonder that is the light of Wendy Lewis. Up until the final hours of her physical presence in our known world she still had that contagious smile on her face, that magical laugh, that .. glow. Ok, for the first time, I will try.. She embodied something to me that was more than spirit, more than human, more than words can really describe - if I had to use a word, she is what I feel is "HOME." My sister and I grew up all over the world, over half a dozen countries, but my Mom always made wherever we were feel like home. Whether it be with her mastery of cuisine, her taste in cultured interior decor, or just that eternal chuckle she always brought with her - she made us feel like we belonged no matter how strange the place or situation. She taught me so many things, perseverance, integrity, cooking, chivalry, fashion, but mostly how to treat others and the way to live with a smile on your face and a jump in your step. Every time we moved, which was every 3 or 4 years, I never lost my best friend because it was her the whole time - she was always with me. Willing to participate in all aspects of my life whether it be achieving greatness in martial arts or watching really bad movies on Netflix, we always did it with a warmth in our hearts; together. I am a loss without my HOME. But I know that wherever she is, she is lighting up the place with her grace, her iconic style and making everyone and everything feel like "HOME"

"Sampai waktu terakhir kehadiran fisiknya di dunia yang kita kenal ini, dia masih memiliki senyuman yang menular di wajahnya, tawa ajaib itu. Itu ... bersinar," kenangnya. "Untuk pertama kalinya, saya akan mencoba. Dia adalah apa yang saya sebut dengan 'RUMAH'."

Bagi Mike, sang bunda adalah sosok yang membuatnya merasa nyaman dimanapun ia berada. Mike merasa kehilangan tempat yang biasa menjadi "Rumah" untuknya setelah sang bunda tiada. Meski masih bersedih, Mike mencoba tegar dan yakin sang bunda menjadi "cahaya" di tempat barunya.

Postingan ini pun langsung dibanjiri ucapan belasungkawa dari netter. "Deep condolences for you and your family (emoji menangis)," kata netter. "My Deepest condolonces to you and your family... My thoughts and prayer are with you," sambung yang lain. "RIP for your mom @mike_lewis," ujar lainnya.
