Anon loves his mom

heres a story from when i was a teenager

>be 14>my mother is very sick>constant medical issues, mobility issues>not fat, she literally cant balance>being 14, i thought she was invincible and would just get over it>shes literally riddled with cancer>shes a fighter though, and we live in australia so amazing healthcare>she battles every shitty illness for 2 whole years>all this time still manages to just be my mum>makes me lunches, helps with homework, etc>I’m always nice to her, because shes sick but sometimes it takes it toll and i get mad>we have to eventually get a carer in to look after her as she is getting very sick>she is bedridden before i know it, i can hear the medical equipment from my room>wake up one night to her gasping, walk into her room with a glass of water>shes gasping for air, she'd fallen from bed and broken 2 vertebrae>she goes to hospital for 2 months after that>fast forward 3 months and she is well enough to go to the park with her best friend and me>we laugh and she even made us some sandwiches>she gets sicker over the next few days>but she still does those mum things, like making my school lunches>she barely has enough energy to get out of bed, but still makes my lunch>get called out of class one day, told to go to the office>there is a cab waiting for me, the principal tells me "the school is here for you" but i don’t understand>get to hospital, taken to emergency>watch my mother smile at me and take her last breath>later that night I’m home, walk into the kitchen after crying for hours>open the fridge>laid out in there are my school lunches for the next 3 days>she literally used the last energy in her body to make sure i had my lunches for that week>i sat there on the floor and ate every last one

i still cant think about how caring that woman was without tearing up.

god i miss her.
