Description
We was told when we was growin up, we could be anything we wanted to be, we was told it so many times. And when my momma was dyin, she looked up to me and she said, You always wanted to be an astronaut, didn't ya? I just shook my head, I was almost cryin, and I knew she wasn't thinkin straight just then. Those was the last words she ever said to me; that was when I watched her fall asleep and die.
