When we said goodbye, she said she'd let me know when she 'left'. About two weeks later as I stood in her kitchen drying dishes a thousand miles away, a little tile she had propped on the window sill threw itself face down on the counter. I picked it up and it said 'today is the first day of the rest of your life'... I knew she was gone and had stopped by to tap the tile on her way out. Ten minutes later my dad called to say she died ten minutes earlier.<br /><br />I'm writing a story right now and this very scene is part of it, in honor of my mom.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005215075724810989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-17152582964340002082013-12-09T19:02:06.711-05:002013-12-09T19:02:06.711-05:00Thank you Paris.

He had the cord wrapped around his neck and meconium in the water. Every contraction, his heart rate was going down. I was only 7 cm. If we didn't have him soon, it would be either a c-section or worse. <br />The midwife moved my cervix out of the way and told me to push. I did. He was blue and not moving, but I had a sense of peace and knew it would be ok. They suctioned out his lungs and he was fine and is now a happy jumping 4yr old.

One day, he suddenly knew he had to slam on the brakes. As his sergeant started to yell, a RPG round passed in front of the windshield. When he called to tell me about it, the first thing he said was, "Mom, I know you've been praying for me."

My sister, nieces and brother had divided the days and nights up for each of us to stay with her during her last weeks. In the last few days, we felt we should all stay with her around the clock. <br /><br />One of those days early in the morning I was with her telling her how much I loved her even though she wasn't awake. All of a sudden her eyes popped open, and she said, "You know I love you." Then she asked me to get everyone to her side. I brought everyone telling them mom had something important to say. She did; she told everyone she loved them. That's one of many miracles I know of. It was only a couple of day before she departed.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01843816981385732033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-5179593447138613832013-12-09T08:16:09.868-05:002013-12-09T08:16:09.868-05:00Thanks Rose.
