Nap

Just as I was lying down to take a little nap, my brother called.

"Mum's oxygen level dropped..."  He told me to stay put and to rest more before heading to the hospital. But how could I?

I lay in mum's bed by myself. The room was empty, just me and myself, surrounded by mum's belongings and scent. My head drifted to images of mum passing away... To all the things that we have to do and take care of. I saw myself crying in her bed. I saw her lying there in her coffin. I could not rest... My mind was ablaze with thoughts. My body for some reason sore and uncomfortable in whatever position I was in...

Time to get up and head to the hospital again...
