Take a deep breath. Just breathe. That’s it, you’re doing great –

Mama’s a big meanie! I wanted ice cream so bad! She promised me I could get some after soccer practice and then she said we didn’t have any time, that big meanie! I. Hate. Her.

He is seriously screwed up. I mean, what sane person dumps the hottest girl in school for some slutty shank? Oh, well. I don’t need him. He was just a gigantic loser, anyway. I don’t know what I was thinking, going out with him in the first place…

Arggh! Sometimes kids can be such…kids! I’m sure they don’t mean to aggravate me, but… They’re so demanding… When they grow up, I’ll tell them all about the trouble they’ve caused me. That’s what a good mother does, right?

Oh, who am I kidding? Taking a deep breath? That’s suicide. Literally. And, yes, if you really want to know, I am on my deathbed.

Golly, what a life I’ve lived. Having children, grandchildren…yet, no great grandchildren. Funny; I was determined to have great grandchildren. Guess there are some things people will never have, no matter how long they wait.

I’m going to take a deep breath now. We’ll see what happens.

…Any final words, you say? Some words of wisdom to pass along? Nah, I don’t think so.

So, good-bye, my friend. Inhale, exha –

Gasp.
