The cancer came quickly. Faster then I would have ever expected, I mean she was fine one day and in the hospital the next. All my life I just saw my mother as indestructible super woman who would always be there. And here I am, Rena Marie LeBeau, age 15 and about to be motherless.
The doctors said the cancer was a rare type of leukemia that mutated with her mutant DNA and made it worse. There was no way to stop it. My mom was going to die and I had no choice but to stand back and watch. They said they were sorry that she wouldn't make it. They were lying I could see it in their eyes they thought she didn't matter she was just a dirty mutant she would not be missed by the world. They were wrong my mother was.. is an amazing woman. She great mother to me and my three younger siblings Lucas, Maddie and Kyle. She was the wife of Remy LeBeau she got him to give up his criminal ways, well mostly, she made him stop smoking an accomplishment that many before her had tried and failed. She made sure we grew up right; she planted her dreams of a world where mutants and humans will live peacefully into our hearts and minds so we could see past the pain and suffering with hope to better future. She taught us to look at life through our hearts and not our eyes, to look deeper into people's hearts rather then just what meets the eyes. She was always there. Helping and lookingout for us all. Let me tell you this, when we were dreaming of our future, never once did it occur to us that out mother might not be there.
My father, is gone. Well hes there physically, but ever since the doctors delivered the news that she would not make it through the night, he has been in his own world. His eyes are brimming with tears, I can tell hes breaking on the inside. He is trying to be strong for us. Maddie and Kyle are on his lap crying into his chest. Lucas returned from her room tears streaming down his cheeks. My turn. I stood up and walked the short distance that felt like a hundred miles to my mothers hospital room to say good-bye. My breathing is short and shallow, I fell light headed, dizzy. I am at the door I turn the handle and walk in.
The sight I saw was the same one I saw every time I came to see my mother this last week. And every time I walk in, the sight I see make my knees buckle, my breath catch in my throat and my heart shatter, everytime I come in here I feel like I was just punched in my stomache.
She smiles as much as she can, she is in an unbareable amount of pain. She was lying in a hospital bed, Ivs in her arms. She was so pale her skin was a pasty white color and she was so thin, she looked like a skelaton. Her eyes looked sunken and sad. Just seeing her like this made my heart ache, knowing she will never get better made it shatter into a million pieces. I make my way over to her trying to hold in the sobs that are pounding in my throat to be free. She reaches out, I take her hand. I cant take it any more I burst out crying. Mom squeezes my hand reassureingly and takes a deep breath and begins "Rena. My beautiful daughter. Ah'm sorry 15 years is not enough I wish I could be here forever. It kills meh ah wont be her for your 16 birthday, graduation, your wedding day, your first child." She started shaking then I hugged her. We stayed like that for a while then she started to talk angain. "I love you so much honey. Promise me that youll take care of your self and look after the others."
"I promise" my voice was shaking so badly.
She smiled one of her sad little smiles "you grew up just fine sweetie, just like ah always knew you would. Your so pretty and smart you'll make a big difference in this world. Just remember how much I love you Rena and I always will."
My turn
"Mommy. I don't know what I am going to do with out you. I need you. I love you so much. Dad cant do this without you. I.. I cant do this without you." Deep breath. "you're the best mom ever you know that? I thought it was so cool knowing that you could beat up everybody elses mom, if you wanted too I mean. I don't think I ever told you how much you meant to me mom. Please don't go. Please don't go. You cant leave me not yet. Not yet." I broke down again. Sobbing into her sholder breathing in her familiar sent. Making myself rmember it.
"My baby rena, I'll never leave you I will always be with you, watching over you, keeping you safe."
My father cleared his throat he was standing in the doorway. My turn was over. I kissed my mom on the cheek and said my final good bye "bye mommy I love you"
"I love you too" with one long last look over my sholder I walked back to the waiting room and sobbed with my 2 younger brothers and younger sister until my eyes ran dry.
I was on my way to get some water when it happened. I heard a crash on my way back to my seat. It was in my moms' room. I walked over. I stood frozen in the doorway. The flowers that my dad gave to my mom yesterday were on the floor the vase broken. My eyes found my father sitting against the wall his head in his hands sobbing. This image will be forever burned into my mind. I have never seen my father cry before. Even this past week his eyes have been full of tears but never once did he let them fall.
I noticed the heart monitor had stopped. Each beep grew further and further apart. The up down motion of the green line had finally stopped a straight line replaced the pulsing one. I stood in complete shock at the seen in front of me. Everything seemed to be going in slow-motion. I could feel the doctors and nurses rushing into the room around me. One nurse went to my father he pushed her away. That was when I noticed his hands were bleeding he must have hurt himself when he threw the vase. The doctor ran to my mom and pronounced her dead at 5:56 am September 22. There I stood frozen in time. I didn't even notice when a nurse pulled me away.
It had finally happened. She's gone not even the slightest chance for a miracle now. I was led to the waiting room. I sat and stared blankly at the wall as my younger siblings broke down, I didn't even have to tell them they just knew. Little Maddie crawled into my lap and sobbed in my shoulder. Kyle and Lucas moves and sat right next to me. I kissed Lucas' head and put my other arm around Kyle. And at that moment I realized I had been upgraded to a mother. It was my responsibility now to forever take care of Lucas, Kyle and Maddie.
After a few minutes my father came out his hands now bandage. He looked dreadful. This last week all my attention had been on my mom. I didn't notice that my dad had lost a lot of weight, he looked pale, sick and he had huge bags under his eyes. He hasn't slept at all this week. When he came out he sat in the waiting room. I got up and sat next to him. I wrapped my arms around him. His head fell on my shoulder where he cried. The other kids fallowed. Putting their arms around him. There we sat together. All that remained of a once happy family. We stayed there for about a 1 hour just sitting sharing in each others misery.
Then dad took us home and he drove off. that was the last time i saw him before the funeral. Tante Maddie says he most likely went to the bar. She says that is how he deals with pain. He tries to drink it all away.
not that great, i know. it will get better
