Hi mom it’s me, your only lovely princess. I know you have been wondering how am I doing here in Eastern cape, I’m just worried about you. I know you are staying with daddy there in Durban but you also know that, no one can take care of you like me.

I also know why you sent me here to Eastern cape, for me to not see you suffer in that bed and dying in a slow painful death. Mom, I can see that you are suffering and I can also feel the pain you are feeling.

You are trying to be strong for everyone but inside you are dying bit by bit. You also try to get up that bed for me but you are glued to it. If you are leaving me please now mom, let me be the one who will close your eyes.

So I can accept it the rest of my life that you are no longer alive but dead. Yes, it would be painful but it would be better than getting a phone call telling me that you are no longer breathing.
