A night so long was never ending for me when my mother passed away.
Having been; in the hospital, for a full twenty-four hours without knowing where Mom was is heart wrenching.
I never knew Mom was at for a whole twenty-four hours because I was to be in the dark about Mom.
I dislike the knowledge of having had to be like this.
Blind as to where Mom was at the time was a terrible thing to have happened.
I will eventually forgive the people who kept this knowledge from me.
But I don't have the forgiveness within my heart today.
A night so long was true with me for not knowing where Mom was.
Sometime later I was told Mom was in I.C.U..
Having seen Mom; in the state she was in was so hurtful and greatly sad.
I had screamed to the top of my lungs when she asked me to get her home.
I wasn't able to do anything for Mom.
It was painful to see all the tubes and hoses attached to Mom
I knew something was happening but didn't grasp the full meaning until it was the next day.
This is a time I wish to forget as to the events that happened.
However, I am unable to do this and have lived with it ever since.
I do know where Mom is today thanks to Jesus for saving her.
No more pain nor hurt ever is found where Mom is today.
This is the consolation I have knowing this about Mom and the joy it brings.
