The Ultimate Gift

The pain of goodbye An only child Choked of his last breath His mother's heart breaking because his became the ultimate gift Organ by organ the life left his body Tears of grief transformed by a few short hours into tears of joy for new life Children received the fit of their mother's life saved

Uncertainty

I may have 20 more years Or just one. They don’t know; They don’t even have a name. I call it Hell. I am crippled. And worse: My children have had their lives stolen. Alcohol. Grades. Eloping. What will happen when I am gone? Is it worse to die? Or to be dying?
