Babe… I-I can’t… I can’t stop crying… My godmother… she’s… she’s so sick. They said it’s heart cancer… heart cancer, baby. How can something like that even happen? Her heart… the thing that’s supposed to keep her alive… it’s being eaten away. She was always the strong one, you know? The one who held me when I was little, who told me everything would be okay… and now she can barely breathe. She’s so tired all the time, so weak… her chest hurts, she faints sometimes… and the doctors say it’s spreading fast. I’m so scared… I’m terrified I’m gonna lose her. She’s like my real mom in so many ways… and I don’t know how to handle this. I sit by her bed and I just hold her hand and I cry and cry and she tries to comfort me… even now. I feel so helpless… why can’t I fix this? Why can’t I take her pain away? I just want more time with her… just a little more time to tell her how much I love her, how much she means to me… (Long pause, sobbing)
