The night was full of energy. People walking, talking, laughing. Some walked arm in arm with loved ones, others walked with their pets and yet others walked alone just like she had chosen to do. Her days had been filled with negativity all day long. Phones ringing non-stop from people at her place of employment or from family members who were worried about her and wanted to just hear her say she was doing good. One phone call from her mother was what she wanted. She knew her mother was working and at exactly 5:00 p.m. she would call. The phone call she had waited finally came through. It was her mama. Her sweet voice asked her how she was doing. She told her mama she was o.k. just waiting on results of a bone scan. Her mama told her she would be there in Los Angeles on Friday just as soon as she got off work. After they talked for almost an hour it was time to say goodbye. She hung up the phone and walked to her room that had her two kitty cats sleeping on her comfy bed and her little dog on a rug on the floor. Her room had so many many bottles of medications sitting on the night stands on both ends of the bed. It was time to take her pain meds. For some unknown reason, she decided to not take the pain meds and instead, she changed into some cutes jeans, t-shirt and her tennis shoes.
She opened the front door of her home to fresh air. It was almost 7:00 p.m. as she made herself out into the streets of Thousand Oaks, California. She walked to the end of the street and then to the left of the street and then to the right of the street. Ending up in front of an adorable Candle/Flower shop. The aroma of the candles and flowers greeted her entrance into the shop. She sniffed each and every candle, held up the most beautiful flower pots and admired the décor of the whole shop. It certainly took her pain away for that moment in time.
