There are moments in life that can be forgotten. Just like there are moments in life that are not ever forgotten...even sometimes when you want to forget them.
Like when my brother, Ethan, scraped his knees trying a new trick on his rollerblades. I remember helping him up to take him inside, and Mother cleaning his bloody knees.
I remember that day like it was yesterday....
Or like the time Mother said I got into a fight with an older kid, and got knocked out...but I woke up and I can't remember any of that, even to this day.
There is one moment in my life that I'll never forget... the day Mother got diagnosed with cancer.
All I remember thinking was that the whole world was going to end.
I remember the months following that day, Mother kept telling me that everything was fine, and not to worry.
Everyday, Ethan, Dad, and I would visit Mother as she would get cancer treatment. I remember how sick she looked, and how her hair fell out...and I remember crying when the doctor told all of us that she only had a few days left to live.... That night, Dad said we would be sleeping in the hospital room with her.
The next morning, she was having a hard time staying awake when she said, "remember me in your heart and mind, and I will be there...waiting".
That was the last thing she said before she passed away....
I remember screaming and crying for her to wake up...screaming for her to not leave us.... Dad was the one who picked me up, and I buried my face into his shoulder as we all left the hospital room....
