Death.
SO I was sitting on the couch when my phone rang. The voice on the other end didn't sound like that of anyone I knew, asking for my mom. No, I said with additude, she isn't here. She then asked who this was, I answer. I ask who this was, she says Lilly. OMG Lilly, I then realized she was crying. She said she had some bad news. I said < Lilly, what is wrong hunny? Alan died this morning. OMG!! Then as if I had not been through this before I ask the most stupid question. Are you okay Lilly? Fuck no she isn't okay!! I just cried with her on the phone. I am sitting here with no ride waiting on my mom to come home. I said Lilly, we will be there as soon as mom gets here. All I can do is cry. I called his son, which is a very good friend of mine, Mike, I am soo sorry Love! I wish I could be there right now. He just cried. Wow. What do you do? What do you say? Now I know how it felt for everyone else when my son passed. I am so lost, I don't know how to act. I feel like there is something I can do, but then I can't think of anything. This is soo sad. So finally after much deliberating, I decide to call Mike again. Mike, what happened? My dad went to bed last night & sometime in the night had a heart attack. So he died in his sleep. How aweful is that to wake up & see your spouse next to you like that? My heart is breaking for her. All I can do is sit here & wait. WTF??? I need to be there. She has no family here, they are all in Germany. She has no one & Mike is not there tonight. HE has already gone home. SHe is all alone at a time like this!! How aweful is that!!!! Please hurry Mom!!!!! I am so glad I am in town right now though. What would I do if I were stuck in NC? My mom needs me, Lilly needs me, Mike needs me. I have so been there before, but this hit me real hard. I was so blessed when my son passed with family & friends. Now I have to tell me mom that her bestfriend passed away.
