Who could have seen the call coming this very moment?
Who could have predicted that yesterday would be your last?
I saw your frail body, and you heavily heaving chest.
Somehow, I felt that you would be gone soon,
But I never predicted that it would be today, Monday February 2, 2009.
Yesterday I saw you,
As you could no longer react.
Did you hear me too?
Your eyes flickered lifelessly.
On a limp neck where I could barely see your pulse beating.
You had lived so long, and now you were like this.
Why was your body fighting to its last to keep you here,
When it would quit so suddenly the next day?
Why would you leave all your friends and family behind?
Why you?
Why us?
Why now?
All I know is this:
I loved my great-grandmother, Katie Cox.
After losing her ability to response, I visited her yesterday.
Not long ago, my mom received a phone call giving us this news:
Gomma had died today,
Monday, February 2, 2009.
Why now?
