The Last Kiss

It was my mom's first heart attack, we lived in the country side and brought her to the hospital at 2 a.m. but the local hospital refused so I brought her to the city hospital by ambulance with moy other siblings. Since it was not a day time, I dont have any cash on hand, the ambulance does not want to go because we cannot produce that amount for the fuel and driver, so I run to my uncle's house and owed some money but still not enough but good that the driver drove us there. When we reached the hospital, she needs to have some laboratory tests and some medicine but it was not morning yet, I can not withdraw money from the bank. The doctor told me, if we can not gave her medicines to take, she will die on the next attack..... But what could I possibly do? Nothing, until the doctor borrowed one of the patients medicines and gave it to my mom and she survived. She spent more than a month there. After three months, my US Visa was approved, I talked to my mom and kissed her before leaving..... While in US for a year, mom had another attack and did not make it... I went back home visited my mom in her grave. That was my last kiss with my mom.... Did you ever lost someone you loved?

That is very sad to hear about your mother's passing away.I can understand how you would have felt without ample money when she had her first attack.Hurrying to the hospital and at the same time making arrangements for the money needed.........oh!that should be a nightmare for you.Why can't she survive the next one?Didn't she take the medicines regularly?Why didn't you go for bye pass surgery for her after the first one?

She did all possible procedures in the hospital to survive. I had a care giver for her at home. She always complained of being tired.....

It's been 6 years since I have lost my mother due to colon cancer. She was sick for a while, the doctor she went to told her it was a stomach ulcer, but she kept getting worse. When she was finally diagnosed it was basically too late. She had the surgery to have the cancer removed. She was sent home before she was fully recovered, She kept retaining water. and (if she would had layed down in her own bed she would drown in the fluids), because of insurance. then a few days later she was back in the Hospital with a blood sugar level of 17, they had to put her in a rotating bed (switching rooms each night) for the insurance to cover this. So yes I know how it can be losing a loved one. It hard getting over especially when it's your mother.

hi alohagems, Hope everything is good and I'm sorry for what happened. I also lost my mom when I was 11 years old, she also had an heart attack and other health problems. I was so sad that time and I always miss and think of her every now and then. But, it made me strong and think of my future in a different way. I love her so much and she's my angel.

Good afternoon, everiyone. My last kiss was about two evenings with my girlfriend at the airport when he sent to Germany to study. It was very sensual, ang although it was only a few seconds it seemed like an eternity and does not want it to end because I knew he would see her only after 6 months.
