It Was Mom..by Michael

Tubes and wires were attached to my mom in the hospital that I was visiting. She went into a coma after surgery and was now on life support. I was only twenty three years old and mom was still a young forty six. Not a time to expect nor lose a parent for anybody. One year later her condition had not improved and the doctors asked me if they should keep her on life support or pull the plug. I decided to pull the plug as this was not a life to be lived. I held her hand and said, "mom...it's alright to go now". She squeezed my hand and smiled as a tear fell from her eye. That was her approval as her spirit passed on to where it needed to go to. My wedding was the following year and I felt my mom's presence there. The scent of the perfume she used to wear was right next to me. I knew then that she attended my wedding. Maybe there is a visit to a hospital, then a visit to the other side where we need to go to when our time is up. She somehow knew about my wedding and attended as I felt that for sure. A kiss on my cheek was felt before the wedding was over. It was mom...
