why me?

The hospital room was silent except for the soft beeping of the heart monitor. Hana sat beside her mother's bed, holding her weak hand tightly. Her mother smiled faintly, whispering, "Be strong, my little girl."
Tears rolled down Hana's cheeks. She wanted to speak, to say "Don't leave me," but her voice trembled too much to make a sound. She had spent weeks watching her mother's health fade, hoping for a miracle that never came.
That night, the monitor went silent.
The world seemed to stop.
Days turned into weeks, but Hana couldn't feel anything anymore. The house felt empty - no laughter, no warmth, just silence. Every time she looked at her mother's favorite chair, her heart broke again.
One evening, as the sunset painted the sky orange, Hana whispered to herself, "Why me? Why did I have to lose her?"
But deep inside, she remembered her mother's last words - "Be strong."
And though her tears still fell, she slowly began to understand that love never really leaves. It lives quietly in the memories we keep.
