A Young Woman's Angles

December 31, 2016, was a day that Theresa Johnson would never forget. She just knew that there was more time with her mommy until the phone call came in for the last time. Theresa woke up that morning happy and looking forward to bring in the New Year with no more heartache & pain. She was missing her cousin/big brother that pasted May 2016. This man was someone that she could talk to anytime and about anything. 

Theresa was starting her day when her phone rang; she looked at that caller ID to see it was mommy calling her. She smiled and answered the phone Good Morning Shorty. Her mommy said good morning Janell. She hated when her mommy called her that but for some reason, it didn't bother that day. They both laughed and started talking about the plans for the day. Zelma wanted to see her daughter before the day was over, little did she know Theresa was already coming to see her. She planned on spending the entire afternoon with her mommy. 

Tee can you please come see me today and make me some fried chicken and seafood salad? Zelma knew that she was unable to eat that type of food. As she was crying about wanting the food Theresa was pulling the chicken out and checking to make sure she had everything to make the salad. Okay, mommy, I think about making that nasty food for you today. They both laughed and continued their conversation about different stuff. As mommy and daughter talked, Theresa was cleaning and seasoning the chicken. She was it to sit for some time before she cooked it for her mommy. Theresa told her mommy she was about to clean-up and will call her back once she was done. They said their goodbyes laters and Theresa continued on with her day. 

After the cleaning was done and chicken sitting in seasoning Theresa decided to take a quick nap before going to see her mommy. She never thought she would never hear her mommy voice after the morning phone call and all the laughs they shared. As she slept she dreamed of her mommy as if they were sitting in the same room. They were talking and laughs loud. Theresa knew this was a dream but unable to wake-up. As she laid there she could hear ringing and thought it was apart of her dream. The ringing continued until Theresa woke out her sleep and answered her phone. 

"Hello", who is this, please? Hello is this Theresa Johnson? a voice said on the other end. Yes, this is Theresa, who am I talking too, please? Hi, Theresa, this is the facility your mother is located at.  We need for you to come right here right away, please. Your mother is not doing to good. I just spoke with my mommy this morning what happened between now and the. I'm sorry but I can't give you any information over the phone just need you to come up here right away. As the nursing was talking Theresa was on her way to wake her husband. She woke Liyl up telling him they needed to get to the facility mommy was in right away. He jumped from his sleep.
