Mammaw, So Long and Good night...

She died, October 31, 2008, she took her last breath at around 10:10 AM or so, I knew it was gonna happen, but the news hit me hard. I came home from school, and my mom was laying on the couch, holding back tears. I asked "What's wrong, mom?" She looked up at me with sad eyes and said "Mammaw is gone." I heard what she said, but it sounded so distant, all I could hear was my heartbeat, was she realy gone? I stood there for at least ten minutes, staring blankly across the room at the wall, so many thoughts filled my head, it hurt. The women who raised me, took me to church every Sunday before I quit going all together, the women I never respected as much as I should have to save my life, and maybe hers. Things were finay starting to get good, I started my new school, moved into a new house, my family seemed happier, made a new best friend, and then it all seemed to be swirling around in my head, then disappearing the more distant they fell. So long and Goodnight, Dear God, take care of this women, she was the closest thing earth had to an angel, and now that she is one, she deserves rest, peace, and unconditional love more than anybody else. So Long and Goodnight.
