I stood beside my father holding his hand tightly as I watched my mothers coffin go down into the earth. My mom is gone. How can this be? I want to yell, scream and rip my hair out. How can God be so cruel to let cancer take my mom away?
I told him I would serve him if she lived! What more does he want from me? He already took my mom. My mom! How can I survive without my mom? How can I? She's was my best friend!
My mind instantly flooded with memories of my mom cooking my favorite food, combing my hair and going shopping with me. I love my mom so much. I feel like my heart has been shredded into a million pieces. Why? Why MY mom?
Why could'nt he heal her? He has done it for others, why not for my mom?
I couldn't hold back the tears anymore and they flooded my cheeks. I was blinded by my tears so I couldn't see them covering my mothers coffin.
I feel so weak, I grabbed my Dads waist for support and he hugged me tight and whispered comforting words in my ear.
"We're gonna be alright sweetie, I know it won't be easy but we're gonna be alright,' he tried to calm me, rocking me in his arms.
It didn't take the pain away.
Nothing will.
