I Still Cry

On August 12, 1998 my Mom died All I know is that I cried When I rushed from my new home in Edmond All I did on the way there was cry I got to the house and rushed to her room And I saw that everyone was crying I looked at her and saw the pale yellow in her skin And all I could do was cry I looked into her yellowish eyes, full of pain And all I could do was cry Then a single tear fell from her right eye She took her last breath at 8:15 am And all we could do was cry The very next day I had to go to school I was new, and sat alone at lunch and cried Cancer took my Mom away And still today I cry

Wow Amanda that is so sad to hear. Just reading this opened up a wound that I thought would stay covered for years. I lost my grandmother to cancer last May.
