It felt odd that Erica texted me specifically inviting me to a family meal at her place because I had never met her mother. However, I did not decline, so I confirmed my attendance.
Alexa gave birth to a stunningly beautiful baby girl a few weeks ago, and she decided to name her Jude. Oh my! She possesses the most beautiful eyes ever. Alexa did an excellent job giving birth; she said that it didn't hurt that much.
Four days to graduation, and I couldn't be more eager; prom is in three days. My mother has barely a month left to live, so I'm not as pleased as I may appear.
When I learned that she had less than a month to live, I made sure that the family would spend as much time with her as possible.

I still can't believe I'm losing my mother, I lost my father and was unable to attend his burial, and it hurts that I'm losing her as well; I've already lost one of them, and I don't want to lose the other.

I raise my head and say, "I brought you your preferred flower." "It's been a while since I've seen this," she said as she placed the lavender on her nightstand.
Mom began telling me how she was thrilled when she found out she was pregnant with me, and how my father was terrified to become a father. She also told me that on my first birthday, he gave me a large doll.
When I first began walking, my overprotective father forbade me from approaching the kitchen. Dad refused to allow me to have a nanny while he and my mother were at work.
