Adonis

"So when me and you father was  married for a couple years until your brother was born, I was diagnosed with Cancer. They told me it wasn't really threatening but it could if I don't treat it at that time, but I refused because that means I could possibly lose him so I hid the news about it. Then when Ado was born a couple of years later,that's when it got worse. My hair was coming out and your father was worried but I told him it was just old hairs going out and new coming in,even though I don't know why he took that but he did. But when me and your father got divorced after he walked out our lives, I started getting worse to the point where I started wearing wigs."taking off her wig that she was wearing , and under it was that all her hair gone. I looked and shock was about to cry. My mom used to have long beautiful hair, but now that it's fine made me feel down because I wish she could've told us.

"Lisa,why didn't you tell me? You know I loved you, I still do as friend. We was friends before we became lovers."grabbing her hand rubbing while she sighed and grasped his hands.

"Because I didn't want you to worry. When you told me you was gay and that you have another man and walked out and I didn't hear from you again, I went into depression. I thought you when you went gay, I wasn't good enough or beautiful and I had ran you away during that time. But as time went by and I started just living my best as I could,until now. Before you all got here, me and the doctor talked. It looks like that I'm not go be able to do chemo, I'm in the Stage 3. They don't kn-"cutting her off

"Don't say it! Ma, please don't say it! I'm not going to lose you! We can fight thi-"

"ADO! Stop it right now! This is real life, your not 10 anymore,you have to face the facts sooner or later, Ma dying and there is nothing we can do about it,so we have to cherish her more while we have the time"trying to hug me but I pushed him off and walked off pushing the door out the way and a couple of doctors and nurses.

When I got outside the hospital I went to a bench,sitting down next to a older woman crying silently. While I was crying I felt a tap on shoulder,looking up to see the lady giving me a piece of tissue to wipe my face.

"Thank you ma'am"giving her a little smile while she nodded her head.

"You okay child? I see you crying very much right"

"Yes,just a little down that's all"

"Child your not okay. I have a grandchild that do the same thing and I know when someone is hurting and lying about it. Now talk to me,my names Ms.Burnes nice to meet you"holding out her hand while I was hesitant to do anything, I shook her hand out of respect.

"Well recently I have found that my mom have Stage 3 Of Cancer And she kept it from me and my brother and father for a long time. It hurts because I wish she would've told us because we would've tried to help as much we can." seeing her look at me understanding,she patted my hand for comfort.

"You in college?"nodding my head " well that's why she didn't tell you and your brother. She didn't want you to have a burden on your shoulders. I know you don't see it that way but that's how she wants it to be. Look, from a parent to another I understand where she coming from. Before my son passed away, he used to be just like you but somewhat like your mom at the same time because he had a daughter,which is grandchild. When I told him I had Breast Cancer, he was the same like you,getting upset and mad,but he understood. He passed away when Elizabeth was 5 years old. You have to look at your mothers point of view, she loves you and your brother. She want you both to live your life to the fullest,not to be worrying about what's going with her. If she been doing this for a longtime,trust me, she got this. Your not going to lose her now,probably in the future because that's how life goes. Don't blame your mother for the things she tried to keep you from hurting. Talk with her and be by her side until God calls her to the Holy Gate"hugging me while nodded my head while hugging her back.

"If you don't mind me asking,what happened to your son?"smiling dreadfully, a tear came down her eyes, she wiped her face.

"Well, he was shot in the back by his best friend. He was straight until down the line he became gay, and his best friend was a homophobe, but he would never show it until one day they into a argument. They argued because his best friend found out that he was gay, and he shot him five time in the back. Til this day, I still go visit him and everyday he regrets what he done, and he apologized to me. But the thing he don't understand is that he have to apologize to his daughter. It's been 13 years since his death, and it's a sore subject but me and Elizabeth push through. What I'm trying to tell you, life is short. Don't waste it on being sad and upset go to her and be by her side."getting up, I helped her a little. Giving her a hug and thanking her,she walked to the bus, getting inside while I walked away when the bus drove away. Walking to the room, everyone was talking while I walked in and my brother patted my back while my father did the same. Walking to her bed, a tear went down my face, giving her a hug while she hugged me back.

"I'm sorry ma, I love you so much"

"It's okay baby, I love you too. We go get through this I promise, I'm not going no where"nodding my head while she rubbed my back
