Dear Mama

This is detected to my mother who lost her battle with Cervical Cancer.

It was not your time
You were not suppose to go
Not this way.
The cancer was not suppose to get this bad.
Mothers are not suppose to die.
Mothers are like super heroes
They can do anything.
You were my hero,
My best friend
Who am I going to tell all my problems to?
So you could make them better.
Mama you were not suppose to die.
You were too young.
You had so many dreams,
so many plans.
I’m not mad that you’re gone
I know you fought your hardest
But in the end the cancer won.
Why couldn't the doctors find it three years ago?
It was right for them to see.
Why did they not listen to you when you kept telling them
Something was wrong.
Mama you touched so many people
When you were here.
You fought for those
Who couldn't fight
You spoke for those
Who couldn't speak.
You loved those
Who needed to be loved.
And for that alone
You truly are my hero.
You were the best
Mother, daughter, sister, friend
Anyone could ever ask for.
The day you died
I may have lost you
But I was blessed six new mothers.
That have a little of you in each of them.
The day you died
A part of me went with you.
I still see you in so much pain in that hospital bed.
I still see myself running down
The hospital corridor to your room
When Aunt Julia told me you were gone.
I remember seeing the faces
Of all the people you touched
At your funeral.
Reading all the cards and e-mails people sent.
The day you died
My world ended
But at the same time it was reborn.
I don’t take anything
for granted any more.
I realized how import everyone is.
Every morning waking up
Missing you.
I’m ready to say goodbye.
But I know I’m not saying goodbye
This is not goodbye it’s see ya later.
I love you mama.
