Christopher walked in the familiar room; knowing that his mom was in there…suffering. “Mommy?” He asked peeking in. Kate looked at her son and with a cough said “Come in honey” and he did. He sat next to his mom and nuzzled against her like a bear cub would to his protective mother.
“Mommy?” he asked again “Yes honey?” she answered looking down at him, “Are you going to die?” he asked. Kate was taken aback; she was curious why he wanted to know. “Why do you want to know?” she asked her son curiously, “because I know that you are sick and I want to know…are you going to die?” he told her. She looked down with a heavy heart, and tried so hard not to cry…”yes, I’m going to die sweetie.” She told him. Christopher sat up straight “But why? Why do you have to die mommy! I don’t want you to leave me!” he screamed. She rubbed his back and said “I know honey, I know…but it’s just my time to die, my life has been great and successful.” He looked at his mom and with tears streaking his face he said “but I won’t have a mommy anymore” “Oh no honey I will always be your mommy, but instead of being here with you I will be in Heaven, watching over you.” She interrupted her son. “But it won’t be the same, I need you here with me!” he yelped at her. All Kate could do was hold her son and cry.
Two days later, Christopher once again walked into that same old familiar room. “Mommy?” he asked as he walked in carrying a bouquet of flowers… “I brought you…” Christopher stopped talking and dropped the floors… “Where’s my mommy?” He screamed. A nurse came in the room and hushed the boy saying “Your mommy isn’t here honey…your mommy has gone to heaven.” He was shocked; he took a step away from the nurse and kept saying “no” over and over again, tears streaming down his face like a never-ending river. “It was just her time, sweetheart, it was time for her to go to heaven…her life was successful, fulfilled, prosperous.” He hugged the nurse, crying in her shoulder and said “but I don’t care if her life was properous” he said trying to say prosperous, “She is supposed to be here with me!” he said crying. “I know sweetheart” The nurse told him.
A couple days later was Kate’s funeral. Although Christopher still didn’t understand why his mommy died, he did understand that she was in heaven watching down on him. He walked over to her tombstone and laid a Rose down and he said “Watch me from heaven mommy, and keep being properous!”
