I feel sick.

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLdLU4CbDc

Really sick.

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPwLfMupY8

I went to work today as tired as ever.

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNvCwRh0bm

The stress I’ve been feeling lately combined with the 4 hours of sleep I (surprisingly) managed to get really wasn’t a good mix.

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHcFqEeDG9

The plan for today was supposed to be as follows

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt40dIBbLo

Go to work
Leave at 4:30
Drive over to the hospital to see my daughter Amanda

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkItwEqqRB

My workload for the day wasn’t as bad as usual. All I had to do was look over some documents and plan a few meetings for my boss.

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9prFNIYiS

Simple enough.

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk1fh6LSNJ

It wasn’t intended, but a few weeks ago my boss ended up finding out why I’ve been so stressed as of late.

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYUV053yoc

“I know your daughter has a brain tumor” he said to me in passing.

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDeIOq0dqm

“Take your time with work, Marie.”

“I’m not here to rush you”

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYdiqyE1qo

“I’m here to support you.”

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfrOo0vEhK

Today was supposed to be better than most days.

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh7hqQTDwk

I was planning on buying Amanda her favorite snack; Chocolate covered marshmallows

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBjqSwfPz6

I wanted to see her smile the way she used to before this whole…mess

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFaG5VYObt

I guess the Lord had other plans though

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ353ARtlnal

Because at 12:13

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCaU1gXNHL

I got a call.

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqnykkUV6S

I was sitting at my desk when I heard the phone ring

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvtUreUu3t

At first, I was under the impression that I would have to schedule another meeting for my boss

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSewax9Qovk

So I didn’t think much of it

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLRDgmRyyi

But then

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKGg6yEMNj

Like a bullet to my heart

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMZLL8Te7l

I heard those words

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY7q7uxuTa

Those criminally ugly words

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXmLeLbjeC

“Mrs. Giovanni, we’re so sorry for your loss….”

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOJmayGGcE

Everything after that was a blur

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxv6AD0NmW

But I remember one thing…

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzktV004biy

I was on my knees when I said it

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwNpFLzWnZ

My boss was holding me close to his chest

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53GSHtps2k

Through my aching heart and my heavy sobbing

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0spRGSI8u

I remember those words

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSsNrnOU7N

“I never even got to say goodbye to her”

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgGj85XYOi

My sweet angel…

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rwnll8z21

I’m sorry.

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcNSu5JXP5

I’m so sorry…
