Journey POV.
I wake up to see its time. I get the kids up and make breakfast then William said"Mama Rose and Toby will be meeting us at a smoothie king. Clyde and Tommy will be there too. Sam will be driving us. Jack will be leaving with Dad later today." I nod as I made lunch for every kid then they left and I was just waiting for Sam to get me. then we made it to the office. I finished Sammy schedule for the weekend and start on next week too. then I was in the break room just trying to caught my breath. when Justin came in laughing with Brandon. I jump when Justin said"Journey are you okay. Hey sweetie it's okay look at me." I look up at him and said"sorry Hey Justin Hey Brandon. sorry just trying to get everything done before I leave Thursday morning." Brandon said"seems to me need to slow down. Journey its okay to let others do their jobs too." I look at him and said"are you saying I'm not doing my job good enough boy." he kinda got took back from me saying that but said"look Journey I didn't mean any thing about it Okay just wanted you to be well." I just nod as I get up and went to walk around them. next thing I know I'm blacking out on the floor.

I got a call from River and I drop everything and pick up Toby and then went up home. I get to the office four hours later. I run in as River was out with Justin and another driver. I said"how Mama what happened Justin." River said"she is fine just got a very bad headache and probably not going to be able to do things for a while." Justin said"Brandon and I was just walk in the break room and saw Journey just staring at the wall and then he open his mouth and then Journey got up to walk away and she just went down. I'm so sorry girls let me know if Ashley and I can do any thing." I smile and said"thanks uncle Justin." I look at the other one and just shook my head. River and I went in. Toby was with Grandma. then we went in Kelly office to see Mama trying to get up and Emma trying to help. I said"the hell happened. does Daddy know." Mama said"no we're not gonna tell him if y'all know what good for ya. now its 5 pm time to clock out and go home." Sam and William was in charge of getting Mama home with Colt and Emma.

Kate called and so did Tommy who was with Clyde. then we told grandma what happened and then went home. we walk in to see Sam running around like a chicken with out his head. William just stop and wave as Colt said"we lost Mama." I held River off. Toby said"I know where." I smile as we went to the spot to see Mama sleep with the TV on watching Daddy win at Darlington south Carolina in 2014. I cut off the TV and cover her up and left with the others. I was with River Sam and William after the little ones was in bed. Sam said"what we going to do. Mama can't keep killing herself for all of us. I know Mae need her more than we do but I think we will always need Mama." I smile and we plan as we try to see what we can do. I think might be time to move back home. I can do my classes online.
