Saying goodbye to my mom

Saying goodbye to my momOn the 29th of August 2012 my mom died from cancer. I would like to write about the last day I saw my mom. It’s in the morning, Tuesday 28th of August and I’m going to school. I miss my mom! About 11 o’clock my phone is ringing and I took the phone answering “It is [NAVN A]”. My uncle said “maybe it is your last chance to see your mom again. She does not feel good at all. Would you like to go with me into the hospital?” Of course I said “yes”. I walked into the class and all my class mates were looking at me. I took my bag and said to my teacher that I need to get to the hospital. My uncle picked me up and we were on the way to the hospital in Copenhagen.

When I came to the hospital my grandma and my mom’s sister were there already and held my mom’s hand. My mom was sleeping. When I saw my mom I was crying because I have never seen my mom so skinny. It was so scary! I walked over to my mom and I was trying to speak to her but she couldn’t answer. Then I just sat down and took her hand. She tried to squeeze my hand gently. I told her that I loved her and that it was okay to give up now. She tried to say something but it didn’t make sense. After a while it was time to say goodbye to her. I kissed her on her forehead and suddenly she reached out for me. She said that the most important thing was that I kissed her and that she would like to kiss me as well. Then she kissed me on my forehead. I started to walk towards the door with my uncle by my side. I turned my head and looked at her and saw that she had raised her hand. As if she was waving goodbye. Then I walked out the door. The day after she died.
