The Hardest Goodbye
I'm supposed to talk to someone about this and I've tried, God knows I've tried, but something about hearing it spoken out loud freezes everything in me and I can't breath.
Three people that I love more then my own life told me good bye in a very similar way.
The first was my Mom, on November 7th 2000, I had gone to visit her and she was laying in bed watching TV.
I asked if she was okay and she said "well the doctor says I'm dieing, but don't you worry about me, I know where I'm going."
She asked me if I would sing a song with her from the church song book called Father Alone and if I could help her pick out a dress to be buried in.
My heart was breaking, but what could I do but say yes. That was the last time I saw my Mom, she passed away that night while on her knees praying.
The second person was my oldest sister.
She died on March 15th 2012 from cancer.
I took care of her day and night for to months, the day before she passed I could tell she was scared. I could see it in her...
