Waking The Dead
September 6, 2007
My mum didn’t hear her alarm this morning (In case you’re not a regular reader of this blog: I don’t actually live with my folks; just visiting. I do have a life).
I went into her room to wake her up and she looked dead. Maybe –probably– this is a weird thing to say, but the way she lay there shocked me. I guess you could say she was utterly relaxed, and maybe that’s just what ageing people look like when they sleep. But I swear that, when she dies, she won’t look any different from how she looked this morning, fast asleep. It was a moving, disturbing, humbling picture…
omg, i remember thinking the exact same thing one time when i went into my mum’s room while she was asleep!
phew! glad to hear you say that. i’m not too weird after all then…^^
sometimes when I see my family members sleeping. I would get near so close to them just to hear them breathing… to be sure, they’re just asleep.
a bit scary…
