“Jacob, she passed away. I’m so sorry.”
I remember hearing that and just standing there in silence. When I finally had the breath to say something, I whispered, “You’re messing with me, I know that it is not true.”
“Jacob, I would never joke about something like that,” my aunt told me.
Finally sitting on the couch with tears streaming down my face, in a quiet voice between sniffling I said, “That is impossible she was feeling fine this morning, when we went for a walk she said that she was not feeling much pain and she felt great.”
“It was her time to go Jacob, you have to be grateful about all the time you spent with her, the time that we both spent with her. We made her last moments on this planet the best we possibly could for her and I

Pretty soon my mom was in tears just staring at me, she finally said, “Jacob, I am so proud of the man you have become! When you were born I was not sure how I was going to raise you and give you a good childhood, especially being a single mom.”
“Mom never think that you did not give me a good childhood. You gave me a better childhood that I could ever imagine. I hope that when I have kids of my own, I can give them as great of a childhood as you gave me.”
After I told my mom that I could not have asked for a better childhood she just looked at me and broke out in tears. She said, “Jacob, you have no idea how much that means to me. I love you so much and you are the best child I could have ever asked for. You were a perfect baby, you did not cry a whole lot and you were hardly ever in trouble growing up.”
I was choked up and in tears after she said that to me, but I finally was able to reply, “Thank you mom. I could not have asked for a better mother in the whole entire world. I am going to miss you so much when you are gone. I do not want to have that thought in my mind, but I know it is going to happen. I just do not want it to, and it is hard because I know it is coming because you only have a month left and just tears me apart that I know I am about to lose you and I can not do a thing about
She immediately brightened, her mind flooded with relief. “That’s phenomenal news! I thought for sure we were dead.” “You, and the rest of us,” he replied. “I won’t be able to see you later-- they’re keeping everyone on to make schedule, but I wanted to be the one to tell you.”
I just want you to know that you are the greatest and strongest woman I know and love. Mom, you are an amazing woman and I don’t know how you manage to balance everything in life, but in my eyes, you balance everything so well. I felt like you deserved to hear this because I never knew how proud you were of me until I heard your co-workers tell me about how you talk their heads off about me. I’m glad that you are so proud of me because it means so much to me. I know I have made some mistakes in the past that disappointed you, but it so great to hear that you are actually proud of me. Most importantly, I am proud of you mom. You are taking the steps to receive your Ph.D., and I hope the Lord blesses you every step of the way. I can’t
One day as my mom was walking to school, she bumped into my father. They met and fell in love. They got married, moved out and started their lives. The day they got married, they made a promise to themselves. “Promise that from now on we are going to give us a better
Also my mom likes watching my early practice, she always says it’s because she proud of me. We started the 10 minute ride to the school and as always it’s pretty quiet. We never really talk on our rides but I feel like I need to, it’s just like something big is going to happen. So I turned to me mom and said “I love you mom.”
I’m not going to lie, i shed some extra tears. But as soon as i touched her cold hand and told her that i loved her, i knew that she was going to a better place and that she was no longer in pain. As i remembered all of the amazing times i had shared with her, i heard a voice in my head telling me that it was okay to be upset, and that it was all going to turn out okay. I believe in crying & acception. I believe that every storm runs out of rain. I believe that everything will turn out okay. I believe in
Anna lived in a small town, in Georgia, with just her father. Her mom died of cancer a few months prior to her moving, which led to them leaving home. Located on the outskirts of town, Anna had one neighbor. Without meeting them, she discovered their names were Frank and Claire. She found out that Frank was a farmer. She also learned that Claire had an accident, which caused her to become blind.
When I got back home, my mother was still awake, waiting on me to get back home, it was almost three in the morning. She asked, “ where were you?”
I love you so much Kaylynn you were my role model. I truly am proud of you, I couldn’t of asked for a better daughter. You didn’t bring depression, anger or sadness anywhere you went. You always had a smile on your face. I wouldn’t choose you over any little girl. You brought happiness into the world you made people know that life is precious and you shouldn’t worry, or give up. You made people to forgive and forget, to always try go after something. Kaylynn you made a big difference in everyone's life. You were the most gorgeous girl in this world. I love you so much. You were my super hero, you made everyone feel better no matter what. You’re never gone you’re always with
She’d been just like every other woman. Weak. She’d thought she could handle it, the sight, the smell, the sounds of death. That expression of realisation, the screams, the gaping wounds, the bite marks, the scrapes caused by the knife, the pink quick beneath the woman’s ripped fingernails, bleeding, and causing the trussed, bruised and battered twenty-three year old victim to cry out in further agony when Pete Norris, with a smile, literally poured salt on the wounds. The bruised face and cut lips, teeth removed with a pair of pliers, before, with wrists bound behind her to a tree, he’d raped her mouth. Then her cunt. And finally her ass. All the time Analise Helm had watched.
I promised you so many things that I would do in life, for you. Those next few days that followed would only get tougher to face. It started to become more real that when we left the hospital, you weren’t going to be coming home with us. I remember vomiting more times than I can remember that week. Every time I walked out of your room I had to find the nearest trashcan as the thought of you dying literally made me sick. My heart hurt so badly that at certain points I swear I could hear the pieces of it shattering on the ground, falling into millions of pieces.
“…I miss you too, honey, but I can’t simply show up in front of you right now. Pick up Coco and hug her. She is still your friend and family member and she will always by your side. Recall all happy memories we spent together and be strong!”
Why was I the one to get pulled? There were so many people at the party and I was the one to get interrogated? My luck. The officer sat me down at a table in a bland room with non-transparent glass. He sat down across from me and looked at me with a death stare. After about a minute or so, he said “ Hello Mr. Khalifa, I’m officer Marcus Hopson”. I sat apprehensively thinking about what to say. “Okay well you already know what you’re in here for, so start talking” Hopson said. All I could do was look down. Once I decided to talk, I said “What are you wanting to hear from me?”. Hopson laughed and turned around to look at me in the reflective glass. Looking at me more intensely in the glass, he said “Don’t play stupid. We know you were at that
“Mum, to be a good son of yours is my biggest dream,” I said to her when I dropped by at her office, one afternoon after school. She smiled, just smile without uttering any word.
So usually people start off these stories or memories with something special to them or a little saying that is special to them or the person they’re talking about. All I can say though about this person is that they’re the most special person in my life by far and they’ve gone through the most crap in my life alone! You probably aren’t looking for a life story though so I’ll tell you about one specific time dear to my heart still to this day and even though I don’t show my love to her, I’m still grateful of her to this day for what she tried to do for me! You’re also probably still wondering who the heck this person is, this person is none other than Lindsey Faga, my mother.
As I take a look back on my life, I realize how great it has truly been. I had an absolutely amazing childhood and I am beyond blessed for it. I grew up in a home with two loving parents that have been with me through it all and now of days that is something to be truly thankful for. My parents taught me to strive to be anything that I wanted and that I could be anything that I set my mind to. These dreams changed throughout my life as I grew older and as I grew into the person that I am today.
