As she slept, she began to dream, but instead of a continuous scene, it consisted of images flashing through her mind, like looking at old pictures in an album. Cat was sitting at the kitchen table. Her mother was standing beside her, laughing as she set a birthday cake in front of her. There were four candles on her cake, and her daddy was taking a picture. “Smile,” he’d said. She looked up just as the flash went off. She was still blinking from the flash when the image shifted. It was cold. The blowing wind burned her skin. She was at a cemetery, staring down at a small, flat marker. Cat couldn’t read, but somehow she knew it bore hermother’s name. She could hear her father crying. It scared her worse than the fact that her mother had gone away. “Daddy…where did she go?” “Heaven.” “Is it far?” “Yes.” “Can we go, too?” She never heard his answer, because the image shifted again. This time, she was being led through a long series of hallways. The smell of orange oil from wood polish burned her nose. The sound of her footsteps echoed on the tiled floors. Yesterday she’d been in the hospital. She’d asked to go home. But someone had told her she couldn’t go home because there was no one left to take care of her. The horror of that knowledge had frightened her so much that she’d been afraid to ask what came next. She walked through an open door as a woman said her name. The woman took her by the hand, and they walked away. She couldn’t see the woman’s face. She never remembered the faces, and it didn’t matter, because they never stayed the same.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Sharon Sala" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/sharon-sala/she-fell-asleep-within-minutes-unaware-that-the-rain-that-had-been/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b4c/sharon-sala-21452_birthday-cake_she-fell-asleep-within-minutes-unaware-t_386852.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b4c/sharon-sala-21452_birthday-cake_she-fell-asleep-within-minutes-unaware-t_386852.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b4c/sharon-sala-21452_birthday-cake_she-fell-asleep-within-minutes-unaware-t_386852.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“She fell asleep within minutes, unaware that the rain that had been falling since evening had turned to…” — Sharon Sala", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/mother-gone/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/mother-gone/", "name": "Mother Gone Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/mother-gone/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/dab/anonymous-1_gone-forever_if-your-mother-can-t-find-it-then-it-s-g_1486685.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 19 Mother Gone quotes by 14 authors.
