I feel sick.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsjsOOTuai

Really sick.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5cM4N6Ud1

I went to work today as tired as ever.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuBsbJBAHY

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.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4SMK9w771

The plan for today was supposed to be as follows

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNXzkpnumz

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

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWBUlDxsWn

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.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXUrWRnHG5

Simple enough.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAaZ58MEmk

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

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtejSz6uKNE

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

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdPv985uLr

“Take your time with work, Marie.”

“I’m not here to rush you”

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ySaVO33oC

“I’m here to support you.”

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEJqc2VTzc

Today was supposed to be better than most days.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKaFwMGQLA

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

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8O9mRhGBP

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

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhNWVMaNxK

I guess the Lord had other plans though

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtf8AlpyuS

Because at 12:13

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSisCXzqLrC

I got a call.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TsSTF16li

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

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOJN63eaMu

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

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiqsPHbqAH

So I didn’t think much of it

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxixGbuhqs

But then

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGtk2lEHjw

Like a bullet to my heart

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Y65nFSDm

I heard those words

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztqXhqaLCG

Those criminally ugly words

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAH2zcIQTZ

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

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB6XArw87v

Everything after that was a blur

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGKnc7u50y

But I remember one thing…

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiKjIe15Kt

I was on my knees when I said it

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85kd70g8uC

My boss was holding me close to his chest

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iieAAi8Gz

Through my aching heart and my heavy sobbing

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUhtCotAsW

I remember those words

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe6oNjWUXz

“I never even got to say goodbye to her”

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEJggguL87

My sweet angel…

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGNqv1c510

I’m sorry.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbXcqYXPjD

I’m so sorry…
