It was November 28 2009 around 7:30p.m. when i was watching t.v. and the phone rang, I answered and it was my grandpa from Mexico. He said, “Hi mija where is your mom?” i told him that she was at a party and i asked him where my grandmother was. He said she was busy, but i noticed something different about his voice it sounded like he was crying. It was weird to me because my grandmother would always call us to see how we're doing and that day she didn’t. Then my grandpa asked me if my uncle was home and i said yes and he said, “Can i speak to him hija.” I gave my uncle the phone and he went outside with my cousin and i went outside too and i saw a tear come down. Right when i seen that i knew something bad had happen because my uncle is a very strong man and that was the first time i had seen him cry. He hanged up and i asked him, “ What happen!?” and he just told me, “Call your dad and tell him to come back home and bring your mom too.” I called my dad and i told him to come back home as soon as possible that something had happen.
Ten minutes later my parents were home and my mom went to my uncle's room and asked him what had happen. I was outside the room and i just heard him say, “ My dad called me and said my mom was really sick that she might not make it.” My mother then cried and she knew that wasn’t it, so she kept on asking what else had happened and then my uncle started crying more and more and hugged her and he told her “She passed away.” My heart was so broken i couldn’t stand seeing my mother so heartbroken and devastated I just wanted to hug her and tell her everything was going to be ok but nothing was ok. I was only 11 I didn’t have the right words to say to her to make her feel better. My dad told her “If you want to go to Mexico to see your mother for the last time tell me right now so i could get your stuff ready and get the ticket so you could leave tonight,” my mom said “Yes i want to go see her one last time.”
We got her stuff ready and we called my cousin and asked her if she could get 3 tickets for that night she said she would check and then she would call back. Ten minutes later she called back and she said, “ I found 4 tickets available for tonight.” My dad took my mom, uncle and 2 of my mom’s uncles to the airport in Fresno. I wanted to go so bad to say goodbye to my grandma and be there for my mom, but I couldn’t because I had school. My mother had to stay in Mexico because she couldn’t come back. That was horrible, i remember she would always call us after school to see how we were and to tell us how much she loved us. I remember one day my dad was on the phone with her and when they hung up i seen him crying i asked him, “What’s wrong dad, is mom ok?” he said “Yes hija don’t worry about it everything is fine.” That was when i realized he was crying because he missed my mom and he knew we missed her to and he couldn’t do nothing about it. Then Finally my mom came back home March 24th 2010 and when i saw her i cried and hugged her super tight like it was the last time i would hugged her. I told her much i loved and missed her, and I could honestly say that was the best days of my life.
November 28 2009 changed my whole life and the way i used to see things. Before i would never tell my mom how much i loved because i used to say, “ I don’t need to tell her how much i lover she should know.” This made me realize you should always appreciate the people that are around you and tell them how much you love them constantly because you never know when you might lose them. Ever since that horrible day I promised myself to always remind my parents how much I love them and make them proud of me because my parents are our biggest blessings we all have.
