My mom was asleep
so I called Rosie
and I told her
I don't think mom is going to make it.
Come and say goodbye.
I sat there with my sleeping, cancerous mom
And Rosie rushed in.
We sat for a while
And eventually,
my mom woke up.
We spent a few hours
hugging
and talking
Until my mom started coughing.
Doctor Green came and checked my mom
and said
it's time.
My mom turned to us and said
I love you so much, Carla, Rosie.
Don't you ever forget it.
Don't forget about me.
My mom died at 7:15 on a beautiful Sunday morning.
