I close the door to Mom's room, trying not to fall apart. This was supposed to be a special day, one that promises a future together, but right now it feels like tasting a fleeting dream that they both know will never be The moment she started coughing up blood, I feel that is when it truly hitthat she's not going to get better. I'm losing her... I'm fucking losing her. She has been there forfrom the start, never ever treatingdifferently from Linette, although we are not blood-related. She is my mother.
She always said she wished to seesettle down, scoldingfor taking forever to choose a partner, and saying she wanted to see her grandchildren. I wonder what she thinks of Adriana? What would she have thought? For a fleeting moment, I wish I could introduce her, but what's the point? We aren't together.
1 walk through the halls that now feel extremely big, yet I feel closed in, tugging open a few buttons of my shirt. I feel suffocated Stepping out into the back garden, I head down the winding path lined with large fountains and rose beds, a garden mom was proud of. I close my eyes, thinking her memories will remain in every part of this place.

I sit down at the edge of one of the many fountains and look at the grass that sways in the breeze. The world carries on even when someone's in pain, but we don't really care about that unless we're the ones hurting because of it.
