It was May 9th, and Mother's Day. I didn't have a present for my mother, no, I hadn't even thought of it.

"NO I DO NOT WANT TO!"
It was one of our arguments again. She made me come to my aunt's house, even though I would have much rather played outside with my friends.
"Yes, you come with me and don't argue!" She said angrily and I knew that the conversation was over and I had to come with you.

I got along very well with her when I was little. It wasn't until we were teenagers that we began to have different opinions and argued a lot.
I do not know why either. Not a day went by that we didn't even get into each other's hair.
Sometimes it even went so far that I ran away and returned home two days later.
Now my mother didn't care if I ran away. She knew I would be back.

We grew more and more apart. We only talked when we needed to.I don't even know when we were last shopping.
Why couldn't we live like a normal family?
My father died when I was little. I never met him.
That's why it hurt me all the more that my mother "left" me too. I hated her.

We sat in the car in silence. She drove and I looked sadly out the window.
It was raining cats and dogs and the wind was blowing hard.
"But she chose a great day ..." I mumbled to myself. She didn't hear my words because she was talking on her cell phone.
// You shouldn't make a phone call at the wheel ... //
I rolled my eyes and continued to stare out. Suddenly we drove past a supermarket with a sign on the wall.

WE WISH ALL MOMS A HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! TODAY ON SPECIAL OFFER ...

"Mother's Day? That's right ... I completely forgot about that ..." I mumbled and glanced at the person next to me who was still on the phone.I got a queasy feeling in my stomach, but didn't pay any attention to it.
"Well, what if ..." I shrugged my shoulders and turned back to other thoughts; didn't want my guilty feelings to come true.

Tüüüüüt!
I winced and saw only one light and then everything was dark.
It all happened so quickly ... far too quickly.

I was lying on something hard and opened my eyes. I heard sirens slowly approaching. I straightened up and looked around.
"Mom! Mom!" I called in a panic and saw her. It was lying next to the car, in a puddle; Water and blood mixed together.
I crawled slowly to her and found that I couldn't move my leg.
But I didn't care, I wanted to see her. It was then that I realized that I didn't hate her. No, I didn't hate her at all! I loved her ... more than anything.

She whispered my name softly and blinked, because the raindrops fell into her eyes.
"Mom .." I breathed hoarsely."Are you hurt?"
She did not answer.
"Say something!" I pleaded with her. I carefully took her head and placed it in my lap.
Why didn't anyone come to the rescue?
"Don't leave me ..." I asked her and tears ran down my face.
"No ..." I shook my head with a sob as she slowly started to close her eyes.
"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, MOM!" I shouted, afraid she could no longer hear me.
A last smile crossed her lips as she closed her eyes forever and left me alone in this world.
