One

I can still hear it. It has been one year (how has it been one whole year?!) and I can still hear it.
Doctor: "Time of death, 7:19. We should get the family in here."
Nurse: "That's his mother right there."
Doctor: "How long has she been there?"
Nurse: "She's been there the whole time."
Doctor, to nurse: "Oh, no."
Doctor, to me: "We tried..."
Me: "Please, just try again. Just, try. Please, please, please try again..."
Doctor: "We did...We tried everything..."

Rest in peace, sweet child of mine. I love you always, Sekai Ayinde Williams. Love you. Always.
