Mama Knows Best

"Oh,um.. How are you? It's Brad by the way." 


 Brad was her mother's closest neighbor, she remembered vaguely. 


"I'm good Brad,"She answered wearily,"What's up?" 


She heard him release a long breath,"it's your mom." 


Then automatically she switched into the role of the caring only child. After all, how could she have lived with her mother and not pick up a trick or two? 


She forced her voice to sound frail and wobbly. "Is she okay?"she cautiously asked. 


Another long sigh and Brad let out,"um about that. She actually passed this morning. She suffered a stroke and she died on the way to the hospital. I really wish I didn't have to tell you this over the phone."
