Early one sunny morning when I was eight years old my mom used to wake me up everyday around the same time. My mom had to be at work by a certain time so she made sure I was ready. She told me, “ Baby you are getting older now you have to start going to school by yourself because they changing my work hours.“I said, “But mom I'm scared I Don't wanna go to school by myself.” You have to know how to get on the bus to get to your school, here's some money and your Auntie Teresa would be there when you get out of school. I guess I felt better that she said my aunt would be there when I get home because she was my favorite tete. So even though my mom was working alot she made sure I got to school and also had a roof over my head. Although my father wasn't around a lot he came around sometimes and I loved my father but my momma loved and hated him at the same time they didn't get along most of the time. My mom was trying her hardest to get us to moved from the area we live in that's why she pulled extra hours in just so we could find a nice apartment so she finally found us a nice apartment down the street from my aunt’s house and right by my school I Only had to take one bus. She was so happy when she received her keys I remember the look on her face.
One month settled in our new apartment it was my birthday month so since we was in our new apartment my mom wanted to throw me a birthday party. On November 8th a day I would never forget the hardest day for me. It was 8 days before my birthday. Early that morning my mom was having a conversation with me about her being sick and that it was getting really bad so I was telling her that she was going to be ok and just pray about it. My mom dropped me off at my aunt's house because it was report card pick up at the school but she had to work. Her and my auntie was going to get my report card later after my mom got off work . Later during the day my auntie told me she was going to meet my mom to go get my report card from school so I Stayed with my cousin and played around the house Hours passed by my mom grandma called me and my cousin in for dinner I saw my oldest cousin crying so I said, “Where my momma at ?” I have not seen her since this morning no one answered the question I felt like something was wrong I asked my older cousin, “What’s wrong?” She didn't answer either. My auntie Teresa came in so I was looking behind her to see if my mom was coming up the stairs but she wasn't My auntie told me that my mom had died a couple hours ago and I seen in her eyes she had been crying and was trying to stay strong for me All I could do was cry because she was my favorite person in the world and I couldn't picture waking up not seeing my mommy anymore. I was so hurt I felt like there was nothing else inside me I felt like I had died so much was running through my Who do I have now ? Who will make my day when someone make me upset at school ? My mom was my rock couldn't nobody answer those questions I knew that day had changed me forever I knew I would never be the same. Looking back on that memory that happened 10 years ago I am now 19 years old I would always think of all the great time me and mother had. My mom was a very special person in my life she was very caring and funny person if you mad she would make you laugh and put a smile on your face . Even though she not here with she still in my heart I would never forget she taught me so much that she made the women I am today I felt she knew something was going to happen to her so she tried to prepared me the real world at a young so I loved her so much for that. Rest in peace mommy I miss you and you would always be in my heart .
