Dave was at the airport when my mom’s plane landed in Nashville around 9am.
When she came in to my room, she slowly walked over to the side of my bed and sat down and took my left hand in hers. She stroked my hair and smiled at me, and her eyes were brimming with tears. She hugged me, and told me how much she loved me, and that everything was going to be alright. We both broke down and cried and cried, and cried.
My nurse came in and introduced herself. She told my mom that it was a left brain stroke and that the doctor would be back when my dad and brother arrived to explain further. My mom stayed by my side and I fell asleep.
I have’nt read this in quite awhile…. I thought the emotions of that day were all put away.
I know now that they will never be gone. The pain and fear I felt for you at that moment were as strong today, as they were then. The tears came again. I guess they always will. I love you!
