Mom

I dreamed about you last night

The old you before you lost the fight

Before the chemotherapy, before the struggle

Before the funeral and before the final I love you

We were standing there with my uncles and brother

Next thing I knew I broke down and hugged you

You hugged me the only way a mother can hold a son

I held you tighter not wanting to let go, not wanting this moment to be done

The people around didnt seem to see what was happening or going on

But for that instant I felt both of our feelings for each other were very strong

Then I notice in my dream that my dad was nowhere to be found

Meaning this was after he lost his fight too and it was as if my soul needed something and your spirit knew and from heaven it came down

A hug. Every since dad died all I wanted a hug. A hug that only a parent could give

A hug that gives a child the motivation to live

A you gave that to me

And even though you were my brothers mom, you treated me as if I can from your womb

And this dream, this memory, your memory and dads is something I will take to my tomb

And when you get back to heaven, tell dad I love him for the person he made me

And ask him to make sure that we all get to heaven safely.
