On the morning of the surgery ...
Mom suggested that You send a text message to your aunts who were studying in Russia at the time.
Both your aunts, Diana and Carol, have been texting back and forth, and forth and back, from the day You were diagnosed with that ...
that ...
bit of water in your head.
You took Mom’s phone eagerly, and started to key in your message with much enthusiasm.
Your mother stood by your bed, and watched You.
In less than a minute, You handed the phone back and said, "Okay, done!"
Mom could not help but take a peek at what You had written :
“Dey r going 2 shave my head.
Wil u stil love me wen I m botak (bald)?”
The innocent message was totally unexpected, and it caught Mom by surprise. Hot tears instantly stung her eyes, and threatened to trickle down her cheeks.
Turning away abruptly and stepping into the washroom for immediate privacy, she closed the door. Leaning heavily against it, her head tilted back, she found herself breathing hard.
Before long, all the pent-up feelings that had been carefully locked within her the last few days, came crashing out of control.
So tell me now and I won't ask again ...
Will You still love me tomorrow ... <3
