I watched with a twisting stomach that night, I couldn't have comprehended any more than the fact that my mother had no chance of surviving that much blood loss. Even at the age of twelve I knew my mother was going to die. The hospital was hours away and even the closest ambulances wouldn't be able to make it in time to save her, so I made the decision- I gathered my mom in my arms and whispered how much I loved and appreciate all that she's done for my father, Dom, Jon, and myself.

"Cat. I am so so proud of you. Take care of your Dad for me, sweetheart. Don't worry baby girl it’s not hurting that much anymore. I'm so happy you are alright." Mom said so weakly, I was scared to let her go, scared that if her head touched the ground she'd shatter like glass being smashed by a bolder and disappeared like sand in the wind.

"I wish I could take your place mom. I would if I knew how to mom I swear I'll never let another member of our beautiful family get hurt." I said trying so hard to add pressure to the bullet wound in her stomach. Blood seeped through the cracks like a rock wall trying desperately to stop a fast moving stream. Like the tears running in rivers down the side of my face.

Mom tried so hard to laugh but just ended up coughing up more of her blood. I watched through the tears that ran down my cheeks and dripped off my chin and onto my mother’s blood splattered forehead. There wasn't a visible body part of my mom that wasn't covered in blood. I'm sure that my own blood I'd also on her but I'm sure that it is mostly her own.

" Why don't you just start by making sure they stay out of our kitchen and don't give themselves food poisoning?"

She said smiling like we were in said kitchen having the boys in our house glaring at us playfully only to have them pick us up and throw us into the pool. I laughed at her horrible joke one last time and kissed her one more time, knowing this well be the last time I look into my mother’s lively eyes, feel her warmth or hear her loving words. Our last family night would be the last time I heard her sing.

“Mom I’m scared I don’t care anymore…”

"’You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.’”

I rolled my eyes at that one “Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”

“Sweetheart, I believe in you. That’s why I am okay with dying. Because I know that you and your brothers will love and help one another through your mourning. I want you to know that I would die for all of you because I believe in you, baby girl.” Mom whispered.

“’A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.’”

Mom managed to glare at me and I just cried holding her physical form, knowing soon, too soon, that it well be empty. I decided to sing one last time to my mother, than when I got to go home without her, I would go home without my song.

You know the cheesy line that when you die your life flashes before your eyes? Well part of me must have died with my mother. All I was thinking about was the times I had, had with my mother in the twelve years of my life.

The guitar and piano lessons, the vocals and dancing classes, training, fencing and going to the gym. Mom rolling her eyes when I said I wanted a belly button ring, then glaring at nonnino wheni show up with the belly ring and a tattoo.

I remember when mom caught me hot wiring her truck two summers ago. Mom and I being the only ones that flipped on our 4wheelers.

Mom and I singing a deut together at Jack’s bar. Mom, her sister Jasmine and myself going to Carlo’s Bakery to make Mom and Dad’s anniversary cake.

“I love you mom. You’re my Guardian Angel." I said as her eyes started to fade.

"Forever and always, baby girl."
