The day our lives forever changed..
On Feb 28th 2012 I was babysitting my little cousin Bryson and watching out for my granny while my aunt was at the hospital visiting my uncle. I was cleaning the house and getting some laundry started, I didn't realize then that my life was soon about to change. As I was getting the laundry started my phone rang "Your love is better" by Scotty McCreery played and I smiled because I knew it was my husband. I answered the phone and knew immediately something was wrong, he didn't pick back with me when I answered "What do you want????!" He simply said "My mom called..." and then I remembered "Oh my gosh..your mamaw" She was scheduled for surgery that morning and I had yet to hear anything all day on how she was doing, it was almost 5pm and her surgery started at 7:30am. I had been so busy all day that I hadn't even thought about the fact that I hadn't heard anything. He told me that his mom had called him and she was crying so hard he could hardly understand her, but that he heard her say we needed to get to the hospital as fast as we could that things weren't looking good. I quickly called my mom to get her to come and stay with Bryson so I could leave. I got to the hospital and everyone had been in tears, and still no one had heard anything. About an hour passed and the doctor came out and wanted to speak with Papaw and the 5 children in a separate room, I instantly knew something was wrong. It seemed like an eternity before anyone came back out, but I'm sure it wasn't that long. My husband's uncle Buddy came out, and he was crying so hard he couldn't finish his statement, all he could say was "Guys mamaw isn't going to make it, they..." then Brad's mom stepped in and finished "The doctor has done all he can do, but Mamaw has a lot of internal bleeding and there isn't anything else they can do" The entire room burst into loud sobbing. I fell into Brad's arms and cried I think the most tears I had ever cried. They took us up to the ICU and let us 2 by 2 to say our goodbyes. After about 4-5 people went in her preacher Jack came out and asked who else needed to go back that it was only gonna be a few more mins. So brad and I raced down the hallway, and when I entered her room I burst into tears and I grabbed her hand and whispered that I loved her. I walked out of her room and down the hall not knowing that my future would be full of lonely feeling days and sadness :/
