Lucien's POV
Life sometimes throws some people in your life to teach you how to move on. Some stay, some go on, some become irrelevant along the line and some just drift away. This was my mom's favorite saying. I still remember her face. Her silky long hair, her smooth oval fair face.and her blemish less skin. I miss her very much but death took her away from me. Mom died from ovarian cancer. She was diagnosed in the late stage of the disease so there was nothing much that the doctor could do for her. I was only 12 years old when she died four years ago. I miss her very much but I sometimes wonder how dad copes with her absence. I know that dad misses her too. He no longer has that light in his eyes that only she could bring out. He no longer laughs like before. Even though he acts strong because of me, I know that his heart bleeds for her absence. I can't imagine how much secret tears soaks his pillow every night. I remember the day she left us as vividly as something that happened yesterday . It was a cloudy day and I had just come back from school when dad took me to see her. She had smiled at us weakly and asked to see me alone. After everyone had excused us, had us, mom began to talk to me. She said "Lucien my dear boy, I love you so much and please never forget that. Move on with your life and stay strong for your dad okay. Yes mom I naively replied. I had no idea that she was going to leave me alone in this world, if I did I would have begged her to stay. She gave me a few more pieces of advice and hugged me to herself. Soon the monitor started beeping and I ran out to call dad and the doctors. When they came in, the doctor confirmed mom dead and covered her up. Dad was devastated. It was as though someone sucked out all his light and happiness. That was the first time that I ever saw him cry. We left the hospital that day in sadness.
