The Message

I listened to old messages on my phone
          of people calling while I was listening or was not home
         One call was from my mom saying 'where you at thought you were coming down 
where did u go.She sounded so  happy and wondered why I did not show.I had no 
good reason I just did not want to go.I feel so bad fore in the next messages the pain 
started to show. I would go see her she would not smile or cry,  come to find out later 
her extreme pain was the reason why.i took her to the doctor to disclose how she felt 
not expecting the knockout blow we would be dealt.Sent to a hospice that very day 
within a week my mother would pass away. I guess what I am trying to say is I really 
wish I would have went that day.
