"Mom don't give up on me" I said.
My mom was dying of cancer. It was one of the worst things I had to see, standing there and watching her go through all this pain and I couldn't do anything about it. It hurt, it hurt alot.
I was only 7 at the time.
" I'm not giving up on you it's my time to go" mom said.
"But mo-" I couldn't find no words to say. I couldn't stop myself from crying. My mom was saying her final goodbye. This was the end of her part in my story.
" Darling, I want you to remember that what ever happens in life, I'll always be there with you. Every step of the way. I'll be here to guide you. I won't be here physically, but I'll always be in your heart." " How will I know?" I asked. " You know how the stars shine in the darkness of the night sky." Yes " I replied. " I'll be there, I'll be in the sky. During your saddest or darkest moments in life. I'll be there as the light to guide you through, don't you ever forget that." " But, I don't want you to go, I need you." I said on the verge of tears. So, this is what they mean when they say " All good things come to an end". My mom didn't deserve this. She didn't deserve the fact to go through all this pain. She didn't deserve to fight with every ounce in her only to end up dying.
" I need you too darling, but think of it as me going away for a while".
" Will you come back?" I said." No, I won't, but you can always talk to me." My mother said crying. "So, I guess this is goodbye." I said crying ." Goodbyes mean going away, and going away means forgetting." That was it, that was the last thing I heard from my mom. And the sound of the heartbeat monitor going off in that hospital room. And that was the end. "Goodbye m-mommy I l-love y-you and a-always will." Those were my final words to my mom, the words that stuck with me and haunted me every single day for the rest of my life.
