In The Blink Of An Eye

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Hi Mom" I said with a shaky tone in my voice I glanced down to see my mom trying to reach for my hand which I calmly placed in hers.


"My baby, My sweet,sweet baby, I'm so sorry for everything I've said and everything I've ever done to hurt you baby I thought for sure you didn't care about me but now that I see you are here I know that you do"

my moms glossy blue eyes tailed to Lauren and a small smile crossed her lips

"Lauren, I know there's nothing that I can say to ever make you forgive me but I am sorry for what I said I am so sorry for hurting you and causing you to get hurt because of my ignorance I don't know how much longer i'll be here but I look at you two and I can see how much you love one another I look at my daughter and I see how much she is in love with you... Love is loudest Please take care of my baby for me" my mom cried as she brought our hands together and kissed them

"Take care of each other, and if you two should ever have a disagreement or argue.. don't walk away  don't ever walk away instead always remember why and how you fell in love.. Take care of my baby please..."

The sound of a loud beep startled me from my trance and before I could react I was being surrounded by nurses and a Dr who cautiously pushed Lauren and I from the room


"We need for you two to give us a little space and step outside please" a nurse said as she quickly ushered Lauren and I to the door

"No wait! get your fucking hands off of me what's happening!! what's wrong with my mom!" I yelled trying to find my way back to her bedside I caught a glimpse of two nurses attempting CPR on my mom but failing to retain a breath or heartbeat


"GET OFF OF ME!! MOM!! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME MOM!!!! MOOOOOM!!"


=====================================================


"Dearly Beloved, We are gathered here to day  on this day of  a new beginning into recognize and honor the life of  (Whatever you want the mom's name to be because I cant remember if I named her or not i'm tired ok )   She was a wife, a sister, and a mother to a beautiful daughter but her death will not be in vain her legacy  will live on through her Husband John and her daughter Y/N which I as sure they will always keep her memory alive... Let's all bow our heads and pray .. "Ye though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil.. for thou are with me.... Amen


My mom passed away suddenly her cancer had progressed far faster than any of us could imagine... days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months and time went on my mother was gone and I missed her... I missed her more than I had ever thought . I sat outside on my balcony  watching the waves crash into the rocks I had been sitting for over an hour thinking about everything. I stood up and walked to the edge of the balcony pressing my body against the railing as I closed my eyes and breathed in the cool sea breeze


"Baby do you need anything? are you ok?" Lauren's soft yet raspy voice asked I turned  to see those beautiful Emerald eyes that I had fallen so deeply in love with. 


"No, I'm fine baby just have a lot on my mind  Lauren and I had now been together for almost 2 years and each day I just fell deeper and deeper in love with her  I loved waking up with her sleeping beside me I loved holding her on cold nights and just having her in my life it had changed so much. I snapped out of my daze and stared at Lauren as she stood beside me  staring out into the ocean I watched as the cool breeze gently blew her dark hair subtly into her face she was so beautiful (pic below)

 Lauren appeared to be in deep thought so all that I could do was stare at her.

"Lauren..." I whispered as she turned to look at me a small smile crossed her face

"I love you..." I said 

"I love you too baby" she replied her eyes still glued to me.


my heart raced and my breathing became rapid. as I reached into my pocket grasping a shiny metal object my heart pounded  and I felt as if I may faint but I held myself together

with Lauren's eyes still on me  her facial expression turned from one of pure love to one of concern

'Baby what's wrong?" she asked with furrowed brows. she watched as a single tear rolled down my cheek and I began to get down on one knee her hands quickly flew to her mouth and tears filled her eyes


"Lauren Michelle Jauregui, I know we've only known each other for two years, I know this may be too soon, I know I may even be looking a little crazy right now but ever since the day you came into my life I couldn't picture my world without you in it and I don't want to any longer, I've gained so much in my life and at the same time I've also lost a lot but the ONE thing that I know I can't bare to loose is you. will you marry me?" I asked still on one knee


at that moment Lauren completed lost herself and began crying she engulfed me in the tightest hug and we both cried together in each others arms. after a while I pulled myself together and glanced at her "Will yo-"


"Yes! ,yes i'll marry you baby yes!" She choked out as her tears fell from her eyes I gently wiped them away and kissed her before gently sliding the ring onto her finger.


"We don't have to plan anything now I want you to be completely sure that you want to do this and if you're not ready i'll wait as long as I have to until you are" I said reassuring her that there was no pressure for her to quickly decide even though she had already said yes Lauren stared at the rings and nodded her head as her tears flowed from her eyes


"I love you so so much" she said

"I love you too,always"
