SHOES!!!

The sea breeze played with my dark hairs in the dark night. My dark eyes were fixed on the horizon where the evening was becoming night: a dark night. I wondered about my son who had a cardiac malfunction last week and who was now in the hospital bed desperate to wear NEW SHOES!

He opened his eyes and I asked him,
"How are you feeling son?"
"Fine..... Can I ask you something?" there was pain in his voice.
"Yeah....Go on!"
"Mom can you buy me a pair of new shoes??"
I brushed his hairs back form his forehead and saw in his blue eyes. Those eyes had: dreams to had; games to play; friends to make; scenes to enjoy. I decided that no matter what I will buy him a pair of shoes.

It was night now, I got up from the beach and reached my home. The home where I got married where I received my son. The home which was now empty but yet full: filled with the sweet memories of my late husband; of my sweet son, when he was healthy.I went to the kitchen and opened the drawer to get all the money which I had left with. But as I was leaving the lounge I saw a piece of paper with my son's drawing on it. I picked it up and saw that a house was drawn neatly along with a bright sun shining on horizon and some green trees. Before the house there were two people one a kid named ME and other a woman named MOM. When I read the heading of the drawing, my tears soaked the paper. It was written:
"A HAPPY FAMILY?"

After composing myself again I got up to go to the market to buy him a pair of shoes. Everyone there was happy, rejoicing every moment with their loved ones! I had that time too but.......

I bought the most expensive shoes and had them packed. I left the market and headed for the hospital.

I did not had a clue what the nature had decided for me that night!

When I opened the door to my son's room I saw two doctors and a nurse.
"WE ARE SORRY! HE IS NO MORE!"

The shoes fell to the groung making a "thud"!
