Heard the saddest thing in the elevator in the hospital today. It was a young boy no older than 6 maybe and his mom, he said something to her that I didn’t hear, I only heard her response. “Mommy isn’t going anywhere, mommy is gonna fight”

Reminds me of when I was a kid. My mom was really strong, but I remember coming to check on her one time at night cause she was crying, until I realized she was crying because she knew she was going to die. I let her have her moment.

I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine the weight of that moment. I’ve been staring at this for a day trying to figure out what to say but I know well enough words only do so much. I truly hope you’ve been able to find some peace

It’s ok, I understand. It’s a moment I think about occasionally, but then I also remember everything else that happened. Staring at my brain dead dad that had no recollection of anything and could barely chew, like a lifeless electronic action figure. It’s easy to forget how bad things were back then as I was still a kid. I lost almost everything I grew up with, but it’s made my resolve to be successful that much more stronger.
