We’re Your Children

Janet Kuypers, 07/01/06

I know on the last day you were tired
you’re tired all the time, I’m getting used to that
but I know it wasn’t because you were busy packing
my sister was taking care of that for you
I think it was because
the nurse came so late
and had to take your blood
to make sure you were okay
and I know you had to go to the hospital
to receive more platelets

you know, to make sure you were stocked up

for your car drive back home
and sitting and waiting at the hospital
would take anything out of anyone
and you know, you probably didn’t eat much
while you were at the hospital for so long

I know you don’t eat much any more to begin with

but still, you have to be able to eat something
but I think
added on to all of that
you were tired by the end of the day
because everyone was coming to see you
to say good bye to you
on your last day here
before you went across the country back home
where you wanted to be when you died

I know it was probably inconvenient of all of us
to want to see you on your last day in town
I didn’t think I’d be able to make it in to see you anyways
but I was able to drive so for a few minutes
just so I could see you once more again

I try to not tax you with my visits
and I’m sure all of us feel the same way
and I know we make you tired
probably just be being there for you
but I hope you don’t mind
we’re your children
forgive us for wanting to see you
before you go off to die
