She said, “I’m not ready.”
With a shattered heart I said, “Me either.”
She said, “I love you, to the moon and back, forever.”
With my whole heart, I said, “I love you more.”
She said, “I’m scared.”
With fear and anxiety I said, “I’m scared too.”
She said, “I think it’s time.”
Through tears I whispered, “I’ll go with you.”
“You know you can’t do that,” she replied.
“I know, but I’ll go as far as I can.”
And it was true, and it wasn’t far, because before I could walk with her as she stepped into eternity, she disappeared into her forever.
This is so beautiful. I remember a few hours before my mom died, we had just received news of her terminal cancer diagnosis.. I walked into the room, sat on the edge of her hospital bed and just stared at her wondering how I was going to make it through without her. And out of nowhere I broke my silence and said loudly “I love you”. She removed her oxygen mask and whispered with all her strength “i love you too”..those were the last words we spoke..she lost consciousness a few minutes later and passed away 3 hours after that
Layla, I felt these words. I hate we share this heartbreak but I’m so honored that my words resonate with you and others. I pray you continue to find hope and comfort on my page. It’s the very reason I started writing. I wanted to know if others felt the same, and if they did, to let them know they are not alone. Grief is so messy and complicated, but we’re all in this together and I’m lifting you in prayer and light today! xox, Chels
