Once and only once do we talk about it... I've crawled into her bed, curled up next to her, pushing the tubes and IVs aside... she looks hurt, alone, desperate. "You know... bi I'm never going to see you graduate. I'm never going bi to see you get married. I'm never going to see my grandchildren..." Tears fill her voice, and this moment is forever locked in my head. I still wake up late at night, gasping for breath, her words ringing in my head. bi "Mommy... it's okay. I know you'll still be there for me." The strength of my 13-year-old psyche is amazing. Her health is deteriorating. Fast. Fluid finds its way into her lungs, clouding her breath, sending her off to float in a coma. Occasionally, I will talk to her, and she will squeeze my hand.
