A Chance To Say Goodbye

There once was a woman that was a wife and a mother who one day got sick then called and cried to her brother She was alone at the docters when she found out about the cancer she called her family right away but nobody would answer The woman was so scared she was only 25 when she found out that she had not much time to be alive The woman wasnt happy about living her last days she did not know how to react she just sat there in a gaze as day by day went by she was more then fun and flirty till she died on Christmas Eve at excatly 11:30 As the family cried and cried the oldest son scremed "why why did she have to leave us without even saying bye" as he cried himself to sleep that night she talked to him through dreams she said "son im very sorry that I had to go and leave" she said she really loved him and that she really cared about how he went through life without seeing his mother there He said he loved her so with his great big giant heart and that nothing will ever keep him and his mother apart When he awoke the next morning he told his dad about his dream about seeing his mother happy as happy as can be The father said "thats good son that you got rid of all this pain in just one night of sleep now look how much you've gained" The son just flashed a smile he new his dad did not understand that he got his chance to say goodbye and let go of his mothers hand
