“I don’t understand…it’s been four years…why are we back here again?!”
“I’m sorry but I don’t have an answer for that question at this moment. The medication seemed to be working but…this progress is inevitable. For some it takes about ten to twenty years for HIV to develop to this stage, but as I mentioned before, everyone’s body is different and now, it seems like…Bette…she has…”
“What?!” I asked, my voice slightly raised, “What bloody complication is there now?! What?!”
“Bette is showing that she has early signs of pneumonia…in her condition, it only makes it more complicated….”
I couldn’t hear the rest of the words.
I fell to the ground and completely blacked out.
***
I didn’t want to open my eyes despite knowing I was conscious. Maybe if I didn’t open them, everything would just go away. It would have been just a really bad dream. Bette would be healthy and we’d love each other until we were old and grey; she wouldn’t be slowly fading away.
“Sweetheart?” I heard Mummy’s voice call out softly; I felt her brush my hair away from my forehead and taking my hand in hers. I unwillingly opened my eyes and looked at her, tears forming pools which blurred her image as I sat up and hugged her.
“Have you heard, Mummy? Did Doctor Michaels tell you about Bette’s…Bette’s condition?”
She stroked my hair, “He called me about an hour ago. I got here as soon as I could.”
“Why is this happening?” I whispered, “I want to collapse…I…I can’t do…do this without her, Mummy. I can’t…”
Mummy moved away from me, wiping away the tears which had stained my cheeks, “Sweetheart, no matter what happens from here on…you have to remember that you have Becky…and she needs you…”
I pulled my knees up towards me, burying my head in between my knees as I sobbed harder, “I tried…for the past few years…I told myself I would be ready…I would be prepared…if anything should…”
“We can never be fully prepared for these things…the emotions you feel…they’re overwhelming…and you shouldn’t hold them back, or you’ll end up exploding inside. You still have me, and Kit, Tina and Alice…and most importantly, Rebekah. We all love you, Helena.”

Hahaha…That was cute, euni…about the cake, I mean…Shoot, they could put candles in meatloaf! Um…sheesh, I hadn’t thought of that until this chapter, but gosh poor Becky when she has to face losing her mama. Oh, euni, this is so hard…
I like the idea of candles on meatloaf, but that would be one strange kid to not go for some traditional cake and icecream along with her meatloaf
E you sure know how to make a tear jerker of a chapter,, and at the sametime make it cute how Helena said that Angie would most likely would want meatloaf as a cake,,LOL. very moving chapter E!
Hi, sweet niece of ours! We can understand Bette’s decision to leave the hospital. She doesn’t want to miss any moment she may spend with her baby girl or with Helena. Tina has demonstrated throughout the years that she is a good friend. We are glad that she is always willing to help both B&H. Ah, we think that Rebekah will never forget that birthday in the company of her other mother. It might be the last to enjoy. PPS Hugs and kisses on both your cheeks. – Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)
Excellent update kiddo! At this moment I’m trying to prepare myself for what ever may come. So until your next chapter I’ll keep hope alive.
you know I love this story and your writing, but you gotta give us something here…I am preparing myself for a stream of tears that may turn into the ugly cry…please don’t make me do the ugly cry…give us something to smile about…PLEASE!!!
Hello My Most Beautiful Cuzzie…
“Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.”– Oprah Winfrey
That feeling of someone slipping away is just so utterly powerful… it consumes your very soul… you sit back and think about all the things you missed… all the things you could have done differently… for Bette she just wants these moments… singly moments that can fill her life time for she knows its inevitable… she is slowly leaving this plane and she needs just the simplest of moments… the smiles… the tears… and the peace of knowing her family… her loves are safe and taken care of… that they know her love… you are simple amazing… simple breathtaking.
Love and hugs,
Always and Forever,
JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and your ever loving and ever proud cuzzie and personal fanner of the ever talented and incredible Deean)
Another beautiful chapter Euni! Thank you so much. Tina is fastly becoming a close friend. I wonder if she already has feelings for Helena?
Why can’t I shake the feeling that despite Becky’s Birthday the next chapter is going to be a devastating one?
Helena will make it, Bight now Bette needs the love and support of her love ones to story the happy hrs that she has left. Helena needs to be brave and fall apart later. Lean on your friends and family and the will support you. thanks
I love this story, although it hurts to read it.
I think its right for Bette to want to be there one last time to see her daughter turn 6. Its really hard story to follow but im hoping theres some learning curve for us all her, Tina is like Hels third arm its nice to have someone willing to help whenever its needed.
