A moment in life I’ll never forget

April 24th 2018 time stood still for I thought it was just another argument between my mother and father was actually my mothers breaking point. as the sun was setting and I was doing my best to distract the little ones I heard her cry for help calling my name, begging me to come I flew a down the stairs barely touching any I wasn't prepared for what I was about to see. As she ran to me with tears in her eyes and blood dripping down her wrists Time stopped. Everything was a blur I rushed to wrap a towel around her wrists to stop the blood flow but it wasn't enough she needed to get to the hospital after hours of waiting and the next morning arrives I still hadn't slept though she was far from okay, she at least made it through the night before bringing my siblings home I needed to clean up the mess with last night's events running through my head As I wiped the blood off the walls tears dripped from my eyes, wondering why she would ever want to leave her babies behind. Though she is still alive to this day, A part of her died that day. I only wish she could've gotten the help she needed So I’d still have my mom today
