A Mother's Love
Scurrying out the door I noticed with dismay that
the snow flurries were now doing a merry dance blowing sideways and
accumulating at an astronomical rate. Seeming to be the only car on the
highway, I almost pulled over but instead I travelled on. Hitting a rough patch
the car spun around flipping end on end and finally landing upside down in the
ditch. I tried to get free but my seatbelt held me fast. My head hurt and my
insides hurt. Hours went by and still I was stuck. I felt faint and the pain in
my middle had gotten worse. I cried out for my mother. I feel like I’m talking
to the air after all she’s dead.
Fading in and out and awaking to feel pain crying
out again for my mother. I feel hands touching me, comforting me and I think
I’m saved; but when I look over I see no one. I close my eyes against the pain
and I hear my mother’s voice, “Hang in there baby. Help is coming.”
Minutes later I hear the door open and another voice
say, “An ambulance is coming don’t worry you’ll be okay.”
I feel my mother’s hand leave mine when I reach the
hospital and I’m afraid but in my ear I hear,” I love you baby and I’m always
with you. You’ll be okay. Believe.”
The doctor says he doesn’t know how I survived all
those hours but I do, my mother’s love saved me.
