What a NIGHTMARE!

My mom passed away, and I wasn't there.
I laid on the pile of dirt over her grave 
and I buried my face in the pile that lay 
over my mother 
begging her to come back.

Why wasn't I there when you needed me?
Why did you leave me so soon?
Mom PLEASE come back to me!!!
I can't live without you mom
If only I was there I could've saved you!!

These were all things that came to me in a dream late Sunday night as I slept.
I had a dream my mother passed away
and I wasn't there.
I dreamt that I layed on her grave and cried 
and screamed and begged her to come back to me.
I remember feeling guilty that I wasn't there when I was supposed to be.
And I could literally feel the pain
from the thought that my mother had passed!
It felt so real to me that I woke in a panic and 
started feeling my face for tears
than I called my mom.
Hearing her voice that morning was one of the 
BEST sounds I could 
have ever heard
at that moment.

My heart slowed down
the sweat from my palms dried
and I could once again breath.......

What a nightmare that was!
I honestly don't know what I would do without my mother
one of the greatest examples to me!!!
The woman who made us all feel like
we were rich when we were young,
even though we were poor.
The woman who would always put my food aside
because I was her only child that didn't like onions and vegetables.
The woman who calls me everyday to play cards,
who is my midnight coupon partner,
the woman who always waited up for me
to make sure I was safe!!
THIS woman I could not live without!!

Thank goodness that was just a nightmare!!!

I LOVE you mom!!!
