Short Stories Literally

Goodbye

I hold my mother's hand and start to cry, I can't believe this is the last time with her. She loved me and I loved her back, it hurts when you see your loved one die. I remember how much she cared about me, she took care of me as a toddler or a child. I hug her tight, tears start streaming down my face down to her shoulder.

"Please don't leave me" I ask her

"I'm sorry sweetheart but I have to, it's the way of life"

"I don't want this, I don't want to see you die"

"I don't either but this has to happen this is the circle of life"

"You make this sound like a disney story" I laugh

"Well it is related, one day you'll die just like I will" she smiles and drifts into a deep sleep

"Goodbye Mom" I start to cry, tears streaming down like a waterfall. I felt my brother touch my shoulder

"She's in a better place now, be happy for her" He smiles

"Your right" I wipe my tears away from my cheeks

"See even she's happy now that we are happy"

"I hope so" I touch her cold hand and feel my warmth go through her hand.

Days past and I went to her funeral. I stare at her coffin, a tear starts to go through my cheek. I watch as they bury her coffin with sadness, I see my family crying I hug them crying as well. When it was over I went home, and lie down onto my bed.

I ask myself "Is she really dead, is this a dream"

"Could my mother really be dead" I grab the necklace that she always wore, wrapped it around my neck and attach it.

"I guess she really isn't alive" I grab my pillow and start to cry all over it, I heard my daughter ask "Mama are you okay"

"Yes I'm okay" she hugs me

"I know Nana died" she cries with me.
