All The Secrets That Have Been Kept From Me

 I recently realized that my mother always keeps stuff from me and my sister. Most times she will wait until the absolute last minute to tell us. The first time I can remember her doing this was when my great auntie had pancreatic cancer. She told us the day before she died to tell us that she had cancer and wasn't doing well and she might not make it. Another time she did this is when my great grandma was dying. It was the summer after 9th grade during the pandemic.  All of our friends were at our house when she told us to get dressed to go see her because she might not make it through the night. When she said that me and Kyla were very confused because we didn't know anything was wrong with her. When we got to Mommie's house we said our goodbyes and then went home. Later that day we went back over there with Ja'Niya and Nadia and the rest of our family. After about 30 minutes she had died and everyone was crying everyone was so emotional it was so sad.
