I awoke in my bed at Aunt Dana’s house. Once she saw that I was awake, she rushed toward me as I bombarded her with a stream of questions. “Auntie, is she really dead? What happened to me? Was it an asthma attack? Could you give me my glasses? Is-” “SHHH!” said my aunt. “ Calm down Ronald. Here are your glasses. Your mother is not dead yet, but I’m afraid she will be soon. I wish that you were able to see her again, but the doctors will not permit it, as he fears that seeing her may frighten you. Upon hearing she was nearer to death, you had an asthma attack and blacked out. Now, as I expect you are hungry, let’s go to my sweet-shop for something to eat. Perhaps eating some sweets will take your mind off of this.” Normally, eating sweets would take my mind off of things, but this time it didn’t. As we ate dinner, I found that I could barely eat. Aunt Dana tried cheering me up, but had no success. Once we got home, I went straight to bed even though it was only 6:00. That night I dreamt of the last time I saw my mother.
