12 years ago daughter in love with her sleeping mom
"Mom?"
I whispered to her still form.
There was no response, of course.
There never was.
It's been twelve years.
She wasn't going to wake up suddenly and respond to me.
That's not how this worked.
I took a deep breath, trying not to let the tears come.
I always tried not to cry when I came to visit her.
It wasn't her fault, after all.
She didn't do this to herself or to me.
It was the van that ran the red light, the driver who was too drunk to care that he'd just destroyed two lives.
My life and hers, when he smashed into our car and put her in a coma she's been in ever since.
"Mom?"
I whispered again, just in case.
I always had hope that this would be the time she would finally come out of it.
That this would be the time she would finally hear me calling her.
But she didn't move or open her eyes.
