Rest In Peace, Mom - Part Vi

It was a day that I was bound to dread. I woke up in the hospital and found you dead. I told the nurse that I thought you had died and she examined you. She found no pulse and she confirmed what I believed to be true. Your death occurred ten years ago today. After living for 64 years, you passed away. I woke up my brother and told him that you died. When I went home, I licked my wounds and cried. I had to accept the fact that your life had come to an end. You weren't just my mother, you were also my closest friend. I loved you and people know how important you were to me. You have been gone from my life for one tenth of a century. You died even though I begged God to save you when I prayed. Rest in Peace, Mom, today you've been dead for an entire decade. [Dedicated to Agnes Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away ten years ago today on March 6, 2013]
