257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvFWCPAcM7

I feel sick.

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EbktGUV9X

Really sick.

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ871HTxLZah

I went to work today as tired as ever.

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIGblP6bGy

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.

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BqwBHMDoj

The plan for today was supposed to be as follows

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy52apk9WIC

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

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQmeXlkaIb

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.

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB5ZpJzyR3

Simple enough.

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLdkSVc805

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

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvJaxPBsBs

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

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8QQEganpJ

“Take your time with work, Marie.”

“I’m not here to rush you”

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JW4QblIqg

“I’m here to support you.”

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoQqYWHm7R

Today was supposed to be better than most days.

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNCAtREIbj

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

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpB0bEFp7E

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

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeRqiNd4Qt

I guess the Lord had other plans though

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIAbvGCe3S

Because at 12:13

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEgA2p54w3

I got a call.

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbWqJbpNs1

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

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1RuoP9K68

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

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0qbGFfJzN

So I didn’t think much of it

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdjAyO66jJ

But then

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoNieoEvnS

Like a bullet to my heart

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr1MdOuCqR

I heard those words

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSERGkjLch

Those criminally ugly words

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r79V7lldY

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

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCPu2RBYvD

Everything after that was a blur

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMZuXltaSP

But I remember one thing…

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwjSfMYaio

I was on my knees when I said it

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6nbVMGcIK

My boss was holding me close to his chest

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JvbCVrVU3

Through my aching heart and my heavy sobbing

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOrfiEj9x4

I remember those words

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf5mGfCwO1

“I never even got to say goodbye to her”

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8sCBxD4wk

My sweet angel…

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDJgMtv7pA

I’m sorry.

257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPdPJpPjCI

I’m so sorry…
