Dear Journal,
Its been hard without mama here.Shes been in the hospital for weeks now.The doctors have told me I wont be able to see mama for at least a month because shes got pneumonia i just cant leave without seeing her so I go into see her.She gives me the smallest smile she was frail and thin.Her hair strewn and bedraggled.Her face so white that it seemed to fade into the sheets.It was like she would sink into the bed and disappear forever.She was a ghost of herself.Miguel told me it was time to leave but I couldn't leave her so I brushed her hair into a long plaited braid then wrapped it around her head and gently pinned it.It looked like a braided halo just like she use to wear it,in Aguascalientes.I was close to tears when I said bye to mama.I left her looking like an angel.
