They walked into the room and Sarah ran her hand across the bedspread, as if she could still feel her mom there. She sat down on the bed, her heart was racing and she was shaking.

"Tell me Sarah, tell me how she was that day,"  Justin asked his sister as he sat down in the chair next to the bed.  Sarah told him their mom was in and out of a coma all day, and that their dad had called Grandma Kate and told her the doctor said it could be any time, so Grandma brought her to the hospital, she said that the nurse had brought him in earlier.  She said,  "Mom was awake and the nurse laid you in her arms.  Dad said she held you close and whispered to you, 'I love you little one, mommy loves you' then she smiled and fell back into a coma, so they took you back to the nursery, you were only two weeks old and had never been home until the day she died.  Grandma and I got here about fifteen minutes before she died. I laid down beside her on the bed and held her hand and Daddy laid on the other said and we talked to her, hoping she could hear us.  A few minutes before she died she was awake, she said that the lights were beautiful and that Angel Doris, her mom was there.  She said, Can you see her, Sarah?  I said yes, but I really didn't. Then she smiled and said she loved us all to the moon and back, forever and always, then she was gone.

Tears filled Justin's eyes as he said, "I never knew she held me that day, but I am glad she did."  Sarah took his hand and said, "Me too, Justin. She was so excited about having you, she loved you and each time she was with you, her face shown so bright you could tell she loved you."  Susie stood in the corner very quietly and the tears came as she listened, but didn't know what to say. Sarah saw her crying and walked over to her and said, "I'm sorry Susie, I should have never started telling this story, it was unfair that you never got to tell your mom goodbye.
