The story when my mum almost died!
|
It was about to turn dark and I was casually sitting on the soft couch in my nana’s house peacefully. It was my birthday. Until old Mr.loudmouth (my brother) came in and yelled “get up get up where going eeling because dad said”.Going into the car I saw two cars behind me a neighbor's car called tuna and my mum and dad in the car behind us.I was in a car with my brother,cousin and two uncles it was full with random bits of things like nets,ropes,fishing stuff,bag’s and rope.After we stopped at the lake and set it was the eage of a cliff.I remember seeing mum with beer drinking away on the way to the lake there was a big slip and we managed to not fall.It was getting dark we set up I sat next to tunas daughter in a little hole on the side of one of the walls.We cached about 1 or 2 eel’s and mum was still drinking so she was drunk. we were on our way back when…
We came to slip yelling at my mum to stop over and over again until my throat went sour but she couldn't...she was posset and she slipped raced down the hill with that she hit her head on the side of the hill and splashed into the water.the current was strong like the ocean so it lead her away to the sea.everyone saw her fall.I cried think that it was the last thing I was gonna see to remember my mum think that she was gonna die!crying harder along with my brother and cousin the light’s went on and yelling happened the torch’s sparke and flickers as my ears and eyes were hurting to much it made the voice thick and loud.My eyes where to full of tears to look.sliding down the hill my dad slid down after her.As the bright light faded like it was frozen in time we were pulled to the side.Waiting silently in the cold cote of darkness, sounds that I couldn't hear anymore was left for good!
Having to leave I stared at my feet crying not knowing what happened. Finally getting home to my nana, I calmed down and watched tv the went to bed. The next day mum just came out of the hospital she had a big scar under her eye but she hides it with make up to this day she was in a coma for the night.
So that’s the story of when my mum died right in front of my eyes it still a pain to think about it so I don’t think about it often as I used to.
