As the machines beeped, Sara, recalled a story from her youth, `` on the day you were born, I got the oddest achievement'' Mum used to say, `` A brush with death!''. It was a family joke that I was born a killer, now looking at the old frail lady on the bed in front of me, I knew the reason for this cosmic joke. 
 I nodded to the doctor beside me, as I turned off the life support machines keeping my mum alive, `` goodnight mum, you were the best'' kissing her forehead, I let my tears flow as the long beep sounded and she slipped away into the night.
