Excerpt
We raced back to my mother’s room and I had enough time to take off my jacket and come over to her and kiss her on her forehead. I rubbed her head and told her that I loved her, just as I did every chance I could. I told my mom that it was okay to let go; I would do everything I could to look out for her sister and take care of myself. I promised my mom that I would get my life together. I knew if I wanted to see her in the next lifetime, I would have to make some major changes. Just as I felt her peace come over me, my mother began to cough uncontrollably. I had her left hand and Auntie Roe had her right hand. My mom’s eyes slightly came open as she coughed. Her eyes seemed to be fixed on me as she coughed. Then she stopped and everything was real quiet. She let out a big sigh and then I heard that fatal rattle. You know the rattle that we call the “Death Rattle”. I called for the nurse and she called in the other patient assistants to help with my mom. In that short amount of time, we all had become family. We all watched as my mom’s chest would slowly rise and fall. Then it stopped and it never moved again. She squeezed my hands really tight, and then she squeezed her eyes. I saw her smile as if she had seen Jesus waiting for her, saying, “Servant, well done”. My mom took her last breath at 11:50pm on November 9, 2008.
