sixty
skyburst
my
mom
will
be
sixty
in
december
i
remember
when
she
was
in
a
coma
i
prayed
for
god
to
keep
her
alive
i
prayed
"
please
god
let
her
live
to
be
sixty"
i
never
stopped
praying
that
after
she
woke_up,
as
years
went
by
i
increased
the
request
"
please
great
spirit
let
her
live
to
be
100
"
i'm
still
praying
that
i'm
haunted
by
the
words
of
her
neurosurgeon
he
said
that
if
this
shunt
gets
infected,
then
next
time
they'll
have
to
go
through
her
heart
,
a
risky
operation
she's
already
been
through
so
much
her
body
is
in
constant
stress
every
day
i
see
the
pain
she
is
in
and
i
feel
it
from
my
distance
i
know
we
all
have
to
say
goodbye
at
some
point
,
i'm
just
afraid
of
that
i've
always
been
afraid
of
losing
her
i
want
her
to
live
to
be
one
hundred
i'm
going
to
make
her
a
cake
for
her
sixtieth
birthday
i
want
to
be
there
for
her
hundredth
