Reflection….. To reflect, think and wonder… I sit here and I think over and over what I have seen in the last few months. Now I know that the mind works the way it does for a reason. The mind is kind and will only let you remember what you can handle. Then why is it my mind shows me my mother dying over and over? Maybe it is because I am trying to grasp an aspect of it. Is what I believe I saw and heard real? The patchiness of the hand as she starts to leave. The light tinge of blue that takes over. The death rattle. That final moment of her trying to get her last breathe, and her eyes….. her eyes…. Something happens in that final moment that I cannot grasp that has something to do with the eyes. Its almost like that startled look you get when you are suprised, or even as if you saw something amazing, or frightening? The eyes suddenly dialate and then go back to normal in that last breathe. But I know there is more to what I saw than just the body dying. I felt it. The words of the Lords Prayer flowed out of my mouth like real words not as if you are just saying a prayer… no… I meant every word, no one else in the room except my mother and myself and I was not aware until after I had spoken these words that a male voice said the prayer with me. Many would say it was shock, or I am even insane. I really do not care, I know that that truly happened for whatever reason but I feel the reason is becoming clear…. The reason, I believe, is almost like a cleansing before she passed on. That last prayer, that renewing the heart as is spoken in the bible. Our father, who art in heaven. / Hallowed be thy name. / Thy Kingdom come. / Thy will be done. / On Earth as it is in Heaven. / Give us this day our daily bread. / And forgive us our trespasses. / As we forgive those who trespass against us / And lead us not into temptation / But deliver us from evil. / For thine is the power and the glory forever and ever. / Amen. I am not a religious person, not at all, but the power for the first time of prayer was evident to me on this day. I find it hard to know my mother has gone but I have to live and have to keep breathing for now. I pray with all my heart that I will see her again one day. The thought of never hearing her voice again terrifies me. I will hold onto the hope I will see her again, and I will remember her forever.
