18th Birthday

Submitted by SP

It was my 18th Birthday I came back home after attending a cousins wedding only to find my mom gravely sick.I called the family Dr, and she yelled saying why is mom still home she should have been in the hospital two days ago. Here started a roller coaster of emotions and stress. all my elder siblings were out of the county or state. me and my 2 younger sisters were with my mom.. I called another family friend Dr. He arranged a bed for my mom in a private hospital. next day mom was admitted to the hospital. this hospital was very far form home but was the best for Jaundice. I traveled everyday hour and a half by bus and use to make tapioca juice and buy coconut water for her i was in college and did not attend classes for a over month . after few days I met the attending Dr. and he said pray to god she does not look good and will not survive. I sat there cried for a few minutes wiped my tears and went in to cheer her. I did not tell anyone in my family she was the only parent we had and we needed her I prayed for her silently. with the help of my uncle and aunts we took care of. my mom. my mom is a fighter and she is very religious Guru baba answered her and all our prayers and after 15 tough days we brought mom home and had a big religious function at home we are blessed to have my mom still kicking and enjoying life to the fullest at the young age of 92.
