" they told us she was getting better though so what the fuck? what's the doctor's number? "

" relax tana, i talked to the nurse this morning. they thought the chemo was working too but she looked at her results a few weeks back and it's not. she said mama already knew " my grandma may talked, not making eye contact with me.

" tana? " she spoke softly. " come here "

" mama why didn't you tell me? " i questioned her as she sat up slowly to rest against the headboard.

" tell you what tana? that i'm gonna die? everyone's gonna die why should i have to tell you? "

" mama " i mugged her. " i'm deadass "

" stop cussin "

i sighed and laid her pillow, " you don't care? "

" of course i care, i've just come to terms with it. if god has decided it's my time who am i to argue with him? " she smiled.
