I never seem to remember her face when I close my eyes. The hologram images that come to my mind do her no justice; they are equivalent to a nanosecond of which she represents all of time. She tells me of the future full of everything in this world, that is beautiful, that I should look to. This is the one moment I hate her for. Because I know there will come a time when she will leave and people will only remember her briefly in conversations as they say "I'd almost forgotten about her." I resent that future. I practice my cries for when she dies because after all practice makes perfect and that will most definitely be the time in my life when I cry the hardest. Hopefully my tears will drown me, so I would never see another day, without her.

Mother

I'm terrified of losing my mother.
