My Love

Around the mid of February, my older sister and mom came to visit my middle sister and I from Uvalde, Texas. The person my older sister was referring to below is my ex boyfriend; whom passed away the year before this incident happened.

On February 20, 2012, my older sister says, "...I'm not feeling well; I'm going to lie down on your bed. I feel like I am going to have a seizure." I told her, "Don't lie down on my bed, and lay down here on the couch so we can see you." She lay down on my couch and suddenly started convulsing. She went into a vegetative state, not able to move, and staring up at the ceiling after the seizure was over. It was 8:15pm; she had 7 seizures within thirty minutes and would go into a vegetative state after each one. I contacted the ambulance at 9:15pm; she had two more seizures at the hospital. I was scared, my sister never had this many seizures in her life. She got released from the hospital; I drove her home and lay her down. She had another seizure once I got home. I called the hospital and they told me to pick up her prescriptions; therefore, my mom and I drove to Walgreens at 3:00am. My middle sister called me and said,"...are you almost home?" I said, "...I just got here, is everything okay?" She said, no and for me to hurry home once I got the prescription. For a moment, I thought my older sister had stayed in a vegetative state. My middle sister called me three times after that, and would not tell me anything, but to get home.

I finally arrived home; my middle sister peeked out the window, and opened the door. As I enter the room, my older sister sat up and said, "...I can see him, He is making fart noises and is crossing his eyes and sticking his tongue out at me. You believe me, right...?" I felt a big thump in my heart. My middle sister looks at me and says, "Ever since you left she says he is in the room. When you left she said she saw chispitas (sparkles) and orbs in the room." My older sister looks up, giggles and says, "Can you hear him? He is making fart noises." She laughs as though she was a little kid. My older sister sits up and tells me, "I am going to pray for him." She says The Lord's Prayer and lies down. All of a sudden, she opens her eyes, and stares up at the ceiling as if she were in a vegetative state again. She points at the ceiling with her index finger, and lies back down. My middle sister had a camera and snaps a photo of what my older sister pointed at. She showed me the photo captured and I say a little tiny orb in the photograph.

A couple seconds later, my older sister starts giggling again and says, "Did someone ask him to leave?" My middle sister and I face each other and shake our head, no. She laughs and says, "Because he said he is not going anywhere". Out of nowhere my older sister tells my middle sister, "You can't take pictures. It causes seizures." My middle sister and I glanced at each other and shrug our shoulders. We looked through her documents given to her from the Hospital and it stated: flashing lights cause seizures. My older sister then sits up, forms her two hands the shape of a heart, and says to me, "He says this means love in heaven. I've never done this before; what does it mean?" She looks down at her hands and laughs; "Awe, It's a heart. Now he is showing me this rosary. It is brillando (shining) " She lies back down. She then says in a loud voice, "Your still here?! The Cardinals suck" She lays her head on the pillow, closed her eyes and says, "Okay, I'll tell her..., okay, bye." She then faces the ceiling and salutes. She lays her head on the pillow, then lifts her head once more, flicks her hand as if were a gun at the ceiling and says, "Right back at you." She went into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until afternoon.

When she awoke, my middle sister and I asked her if she remembered anything. She just remembered the seizures. We asked her if she remembered anything about my friend, and she started crying and said she remembers seeing him. She points to the ceiling where she pointed before and said, "He was standing right there. He was wearing a grey tank top and some khaki shorts." Then she reflects everything that she remembered him saying. We showed her the photos that were taken when she was going through her, "hallucination." She then looks at me and says, "He told me to tell you he loves you." I smiled and said, "I know, I love him too."

I then booked a train ticket for my older sister and mom to go back to Uvalde, Texas. As we were finishing up eating, packing away, and spending the last few moments at my apartment; we took several pictures. My niece stood up on the couch and snapped a photo of my mom, older sister, middle sister and I. My middle sister smiled and looked up at me. She shows me the picture; we see a heart orb above my middle sisters' head. I smiled and said, "He is just showing off." I lay down on my couch, just waiting for my mom to tidy up before leaving. My middle sister was still in the photo snapping mood. She then snaps a photo of me lying on the couch. There is a huge white heart orb above my head. My middle sister told me, "I'm never going to spend the night at your house again."
