Mother woke and went strait to work. She worked with haste. Carrying gifts from the 3rd floor guest bedroom. Norman before his last incident had already hung up lights and garlands. The old 4 story tudor style house was very festive. To bad for my mother an I, we had to leave the house. Mama already sold our small shack and 1/3 acre land. Only got about 50,000 for it. Who knows if Norman will set us up with a house Mama kept thinking. Mama put the gifts under the tree and drank some tea, until Ali and I ran down stairs ,shouting. We opened the a couple of gifts. Ali's were wrapped in pink and white and mine orange and blue. Ali got clothes and an American girl doll. I some clothes and a rc car. "C'mon grab som gifts. We are gonna go see Norman.", Mama said. We did as we were told, we drove to the hospital.
There was a crowd of cars at the hospital. When we went inside the tall white building we saw.....people. Hundreds of people from old to young and black to white. All here to celabrate Christs birth with family and friends. To me it was moving. Mama however didn't. She hated Christmas, ever since Papa died teo Christmases ago. Gramma had died earlier that year. Mamas brother, my uncle died when he was 7. He was a bit slow, mentally and swallowed a watch battery. The acids ate at his throat. Mama and i had no more family, but we had each other. Mama started to tear up, when she said "C'mon now lets go see norman.". We followed. Up the slow elevator to floor 3. We walked the creme halls until we reached Normans room. It was moderately sized. A couch,sink,tv,and ect. The walls were plain with no decor, give a Crucifix above the bed.
"Hey guys!" Norman said excitedly.
"Merry Christmas!" Ali and I said.
"Merry Christmas" Mama said to Norman. We exchanged gifts as well as thank yous. But Norman said wearily "Kids can you go get me a 7up?" we left and Norman then said to Mama "the doctor says that theu found a hole im lungs."
"Oh my!"Mama interrupted.
"They said its unfixable, Anne Im dying." Norman muttered.
"What are you saying?"
"Im not going to make it and I want you to take care of Ali."
"Like adopt?". She said interuped by us bursting in. Ali ran to Norman and gave him a hug. Norman noded at Anne.
'How is Ali going to live without him, how am i going to live without him.'
