the thing i didnt like about my book was that it had diffenert storys in it it got annoying because i will finish one and wanted to continue but there was nothing left it was the end but there was a story i liked it was writing by dorsey Seignious its about what do when watching someone died it said you must be very quiet. Always look down at the ground and examine your feet. Be uncomfortable and very somber. Allow your eyes to fill with tears. You will bite your lip until it bleeds, but you wonÍt notice until you wipe your tears with your sleeve and feel the sting of the sleeve on your lips. You will see the bloodstain on your sleeve, and then you will believe. Since the woman you are watching is your godmother and your motherÍs best friend, go over and kiss your mother as she weeps.æ Hug her and love her.æ Watch your motherÍs tears roll slowly down her cheeks. Watch them fall to her shirt. Watch the tears leave large circles on her shirt and on your shirt, since she has been crying on you as well. Watch the womanÍs teenage babies crawl on the bed beside her and stroke her hair as she dies. They pull the stringy blond hair sticking from her swollen white face. You will remember how thin her face was before, wonder if she looks healthier with her face filled out.æ You will start to cry again and try to hide it.æ Make sure you have a tissue in your hand so you wonÍt have to keep wiping your nose and your eyes on your sleeves. Watch her girls lie beside their mama and hold her hands. She will be sleeping, and you wonÍt want to disturb her, even though you know you canÍt since she is in a coma.æ You will want to go and hug her and lie beside her as her daughters are doing, but you will resist. You will decide instead to sit on the end of her stark white bed next to her feet in the hospitalÍs socks.æ The bed will sink as you sit next to her weak body. You will regret that you hadnÍt seen her more, even though you lived in the same city. You will regret that you felt you should not lie beside her. That you felt that this time was for her daughters and not for you.æ You wonder if she felt like you were her daughter, and you decide that she probably did. You will hear her raspy breathing, and the tension will build as you wait for her father to arrive from Virginia. You will wish that you were in Virginia, instead of in this hospital room watching her die. You will look at her pale, blank face and she will looks so small.æ And you will jump every time her breathing stalls, even though she is hooked up to a respirator.  You will place your hand on her foot, and your father will place his hand on your shoulder, and you will suddenly be aware that your motherÍs crying has ceased. You will hear her strong voice out in the hall, arguing with the nurse, begging to let the family stay with her as she dies. You remember that there are too many people in the room.æ You will look around to see pleading faces looking longingly at the pale body lying limp in the bed.æ They wish that there was something they could do. There isnÍt anything. Your mother will exclaim that this woman will die today, and you will flinch as you hear her say this. You will take a firmer hold on her foot and lay your head on the bed next to her leg. You will whisper that you love her. Wish that you had told her while she was conscious. You will wonder if she can hear you. And you will cry as her daughters stroke her hair.
