Mom cooked a very delicious lunch and invited Dad and me to the table. We were playing gas station with him at the time. He used to bring the car to me to fill up with gasoline. Just as we were about to go to lunch, there was a loud crash in the kitchen. I got scared and ran after Dad to see what happened there. Mom was lying on the floor without moving, and something red was flowing from her mouth. Dad grabbed the phone with trembling hands and called an ambulance. Then he took Mom in his arms and put her on the sofa. He hugged her and cried, slapped her cheeks and shouted — «just don’t leave, the doctors are on their way.» I didn ‘t understand what was going on … Mommy always played with me.
On the playground, we played catch-up with her, built sand castles, climbed ladders and rode a slide. Most of all, I liked to run away from my mother on a scooter, but she was so fast that she caught up with me at the speed of light, grabbed me in her arms and threw me into space as an astronaut. But lately, Mommy has very little strength left. She said that she gave all her strength to me so that I would grow up to be a strong, big and courageous man. She completely stopped going outside, played with me only at home, sitting on the couch. The ambulance arrived very quickly, put my mother on a stretcher and carried her to the car.
Dad took me to Grandma Masha, our neighbor, and followed them. I was standing at the windowsill and looking out the window. I didn’t even want to play, I really missed my mom. I was worried that a doctor in a white coat was probably giving her a very painful injection now. Dad came for me when it was already dark. He was talking to Grandma Masha and crying, and I heard everything, but I didn’t understand anything. He told her that my mother had leukemia and when she was brought to the hospital, she fell into some kind of «coma». The doctors said they didn’t give any guarantees whether she would come back to us or not. Dad took me in his arms, hugged me tightly and said: «Everything will be fine!» Took me home and sat on the bed with me, stroking my head until I fell asleep.
It’s been two months. Mom is still in the hospital. Dad went to see her every day, but I didn’t see her, Dad said that doctors wouldn’t let her in. But then that day came, the hospital called and told us to all come to my mother. I was very happy to see my mom, and for some reason my dad was crying a lot… we went to the hospital. Arriving there, dad took me by the hand, led me to my mother’s room and said: — Son, you are a real man! Now you have to say goodbye to your mom … I went into the ward. Mom was lying in a hospital bed with her eyes closed.
There were tubes everywhere. I could hardly hold back tears, realizing that now I must be stronger than ever and took her hand. — Mommy, come back to me… I will never leave you and I love you even more than before. I’m really bored at home without you. Fairy tales are not interesting without you, toys are boring. You gave me your strength so that I would be strong. I have a lot of strength now. And I’ll share it with you! Take it, take the strength, I’ll put it in your hands! I left the ward, Dad was sitting with his head down.
I went up to him. — Dad, Mom’s back. I shared my strength with her. Now she will be strong too! He did not immediately understand my words, then abruptly jumped up and entered the ward. Mom’s eyes were open. — Darling, if you can hear me? If you hear and understand, clip it… there was a huge hope in dad’s eyes and Mommy, my beloved mommy blinked. Mom is on the mend. And my dad and I were sitting at the most beloved woman in the world and crying with happiness!
