My Late Mom and I Shared a Christmas Hershey’s Tradition – She Died This Year, but It Led Me to a Truth I Never Expected

Was I really the type

of person who could let him die

because I was angry?

“I need time to think about this.”

I turned and walked away.

“I’ll be waiting here every day for your answer. Please, don’t turn your back on me. I’ll make it up to you, I swear it.”

I didn’t turn back. I didn’t know if I had the heart to help him, or what type of person that made me, but Mom had believed I was strong enough to decide.

It wouldn’t be easy, but I would try to do the right thing.

I would try to

do the right thing.
