I can still remember the musty smell of the Kaiser Hospital building like it was yesterday. I was allowed to get some of the free hospital ice cream before we left my mom and I was happy. Being young and optimistic, I remember that I was not worried that my mother had been in the hospital for four days now, and I just assumed that she would almost be better and would be coming home. I remember the faint smile on her face as I ate the ice cream on her bed with her. Then the doctor came in before I was finished and whispered something in the ear of my father. And finally my dad told us that it was time for us to leave. I do not think I can ever forget the look on my sister’s face as she hugged my mom and said goodbye. Lastly, I remember not worrying as I kissed my mom goodbye and went home not understanding. Later on that day my mother passed away after fighting breast cancer for two years. I feel that in a sense I was lucky though because my mom was always so strong that it brushed off on my family. My life has not always gone the way that I have wanted it and I have learned to accept that. I cannot always be perfect and there are times when I cannot remedy a situation.
