Yesterday morning, i received a text from one of my sister saying my mother had a major heart attack and it dud not look good. ( she did try to call me on many occasions and on many phones but i was already at work.)
Once i saw the text and voicemail, i called her back. My 2 other sisters and one of my brothers had arrived. Right away, i started fixing the schedule so that me and Daughters could take off for the rest of the week. We are 3 hours away from them.
As we arrived, my other brother had arrived as well but were going to have dinner as mom hasn' t had any change for awhile. They informed me that a patient transfer was gonna take place in the afternoon.
Me and my daughters made her way to my mom' s room where we were greated by my 2 sisters giving us a quick update on mom. Solange put her hand on my mother' s shoulder and told her: " Mom, your baby is here"
I approached her, said " HI mom" I leaned in and gave her a kiss. I could feel her excitement even through her breathing struggle.
Claudette said joyfully: "look, she opened her eyes to see you!! " Solange ( who is a nurse ) teared up and said: " no, that is not a good sign! She was waiting for you Diane! "
And with this few last breath, our mom left us for a better world..
My Daughters could not handle the emotionnal state in the room. They stayed in the hall. I went and gave them the news ...
No need to say more. My mother was my biggest blessing gift from God. Me, my brothers and sisters and my children are all branches from her and my father.
This morning, i woke to a text from ex- h asking if i was ok and hoping i would not mind about him wanting to attend my mother' s runeral.
