We finish our conversation and go our separate ways. On my way home , I called Chris to see if he was okay and to let him know that I was going home to take a nap. We end our conversation with "I love you's" and ended the call. I get undressed and take my make up off and get in my nice, comfortable bed and close my eyes. "Pick up the phone baby, ooo I know you're home baby", my phone rings. I answer the phone and it's Mylin ..I say , "what's up " in a cheerful voice to hear him crying. My heart hit the floor. Never in my life have I heard him ball in tears , I automatically knew that it had to be something terrible that happened. Through the tears he manages to tell me that mama had passed. My IPhone 7 Plus hit the floor. Tears start to flow down my face as I rush to put on clothes and shoes. Before I know it , I picked up the phone and tried to calm Mylin down. I rushed out the house without setting the alarm , praying that this is God's will. I'm speeding down the highway , Mylin is still sobbing, my head is pounding. BEEP !! Someone honks their horn at me , for cutting in front of them. I was driving faster than I ever had to my entire life. I pull up at mama's house to see the about five cars In the driveway. I park and hop out. Budda and Nicole standing outside. I ask them simple things that they should know the answer to but they were as lost as I was. I walk in the house to hear the pastor praying and the family in a circle. I wipe my face , and bow my head. Once the pastor is done praying , the family clears out of the small room. As everyone comes out I give them hugs. To my amazement Chris walked out before me. I see him and instantly grab his arm to pull him near. I rub his ears as he sobs in my arms. I whisper in his ear words of encouragement ,and he hugs me tightly once more and walks off. Our hands slowly let go as we go our separate ways. Budda and Nicole walk in the house and we walk in the room together. Mylin's standing there beside the bed , just shaking his head and crying. Once I officially get in the room , I see mama barely holding on. I walk over and kiss her forehead and tell her," Mama it's okay. You don't have to battle anymore. I love you." I get no response , but I already knew what she would tell me. Her sweet , soft voice ,and her uplifting personality was just something. I move out of the way , and let Nicole and Budda say their goodbyes. We follow Mylin out of the house and stand outside. I look back for Chris , and seen that he was being comforted by a family member. The ambulances pull up and they load her in. I got teary eyed and next thing I know I hear Mylin breaking down. I turn around and hug him and Budda and Nicole join in. We all may have our bad habits and may not get along all of the time , but the love and the support that we share for each other is priceless. That night was a hard night for everybody.
