Unknown Name's POV:
The doctors rushed in, frantically trying to stabilise my mum as the machines beeped relentlessly. I sat in the corner of the room, overwhelmed with grief.
"Ma'am, you need to leave the room," a nurse told me.
I left, still sobbing uncontrollably. After about 10 minutes, the machines quieted down, and the doctors let out sighs of relief. A nurse approached me and said I could go back in, but my time with her was limited, so I should consider saying goodbye.
My heart shattered at her words, but I nodded. I walked to my mum's bed, and she lifted her hand for me to hold.
"Mum, I'm going to miss you so much," I sobbed.
"Don't worry, baby, I'll always be with you."
"I know," I whispered.
I watched as my mum grew weaker, and it tore me apart. After a while, she broke the silence.
"I hope you can forgive me..." she said unexpectedly.
"Forgive you? Why would I need to forgive you? This isn't your fault," I said, confused.
She reached for something on her bedside table and handed me two envelopes. I was utterly bewildered.
"Everything you need to know is in these letters."
"But-"
"No 'buts.' Believe everything in those letters and do everything in the other one. I believe in you, honey," she said, cupping my cheek and wiping away a tear.
After a brief silence, she softly said, "I love you..."
"To the moon and back," I finished.
And with that, her hand fell from my cheek, and her last breath escaped her lungs.
That's it.
She's gone.
