Just as my wife’s water broke, I got a call from my mother’s nurse, and she told me my mom was dying. I was torn and forced to make a difficult decision.
The day Debra found out she was pregnant was one of those days that I will cherish for the rest of my life. We had cried together, unable to believe that we were going to have a baby home soon, and I promised Debra I’d be an amazing dad.
Debra and I had waited to become parents for a long time. We were one of those miracle couples who conceived after going through tons of failed fertility treatments and doctors telling us there was no chance.
“We’ll be the best parents to him, darling,” I told Debra one night. “I can’t wait to hold our baby in my arms.”
“I know, honey,” she’d said, smiling. I gently kissed her baby bump and promised Debra I’d always be by her side.
Debra had always been very anxious about the pregnancy due to the complications, and I had told her I would be there for her, so there was no need to worry.
Little did I know fate would plunge me into a situation where I’d have to choose between her and my mom while was in labor…
I still get chills when I recall that day. It started as a beautiful day. The sun was shining brightly, and nothing seemed wrong with the outside world. I was preparing breakfast in the kitchen because Debra wasn’t feeling well that morning.
I quickly assembled a breakfast plate for her, and I went to call her for breakfast. As I entered our bedroom, I saw she was leaning against the wall with one hand, clutching her baby bump and breathing heavily.
“Honey, are you okay?” I dashed to her, worried. “Should I call the doctor?”
“Gordon…my water…it…it broke,” she whispered heavily, and that’s when I noticed the floor beneath her. It was wet. “Take me to the hospital, Gordon…Please!” she cried.
“Jesus!” I panicked. “I’ll get the car started. Just hang on a sec, honey.”
I ran to our car, grabbing the keys from the bowl on the living room shelf. I opened the car door, then rushed back inside to help Debra.
“Don’t worry, honey. We’ll reach the hospital in no time. Okay, we’ve got this.” I was comforting her as her labor pains began. I was terrified and nervous. I was praying everything would be fine.
After we made it to the car and Debra got inside, I locked her door and rushed to take my seat. Then my phone rang. It was my mom’s nurse, Marla, calling me. My mother had been diagnosed with a progressive cardiac condition, and due to her illness, she was confined to bed rest.
Worried, I answered the phone, and Marla’s voice on the other end of the line broke me from inside.
“Gordon,” she said in a weak voice. “Your mom… She had a heart attack, so I took her to the hospital. The doctors say there is little hope she’ll make it… Your mother is dying. I think you should be here as soon as you can.”
“Jesus, Jesus!” I exhaled a sigh. Why was everything happening at the same time? I was ripped to shreds and didn’t know what to do. On the one hand, there was Debra, who was in labor, and on the other, there was my mother.
I went inside the car, tears in my eyes, and told Debra everything. I couldn’t hide it from her, anyway. She saw my face and asked me what was wrong. And I blurted everything out.
“Mom is dying, honey. She had a heart attack, and Marla’s asking me to be there as soon as possible. I am so nervous. I – I don’t know what to do….”
“Honey,” Debra said. “Call a taxi. I’ll go by myself…”
“What?” I was taken aback. “No, we can’t do that!”. She was drenched in sweat and moaning in pain. “Look at you. It’s just not….”
“We don’t have time, honey…Ahh…call the taxi now, Gordon. Your mom needs you. You are a son first, then a husband. I will manage. Your mom…she…” Her pain was becoming worse.
“I’m calling the taxi. Oh, God!”
Thankfully, I got a taxi soon, and I instructed the driver to take Debra to the hospital safely. My hands shook as I drove to my mother’s hospital, and my tears wouldn’t stop. My heart was racing, wondering about Debra’s condition and if our baby would be alright.
Sister of Michael Jackson imitates her famous sibling.
American musician and icon Michael Jackson, who passed away in 2009 and altered pop culture history, was renowned for altering his looks. He had a strong interest in cosmetic surgery.
He allegedly received at least a dozen plastic procedures to alter the appearance of his lips, cheekbones, chin, and eye incisions, according to several surgeons. Although he hardly ever appeared in public without a mask in the last two years of his life, many people thought that plastic surgery had damaged his nose.
Jackson himself refuted claims that he underwent cosmetic surgery. He undoubtedly underwent surgery after suffering a nasal fracture. He allegedly transformed his look as a result of a skin condition. The musician’s younger sister Janet Jackson appears to have taken over as his replacement at this time. Fans were shocked to see her at the «Bal de la Rose» event after a long absence. First off, Janet doesn’t appear to be 56 years old. Perhaps the cause is not just genetics, but also the facelift of a seasoned expert.
Second, Jackson’s nose is considerably smaller than it was previously, and the incision around his eye has changed somewhat. Her skin tone has also lightened. But it could only be a carefully designed foundation. In any event, she resembles her deceased sibling in a startling way, according to online users.
Although Janet Jackson was not drawn to the entertainment industry as a youngster, she was forced to pursue it since her father made all of the decisions. She made her stage debut at the age of seven in Las Vegas alongside her siblings and went on to feature in various TV shows. She issued 11 albums, the most recent of which, Unbreakable, came out in 2015. She wed musician James DeBarge when she was 18 years old, but the couple eventually divorced. After her third husband, a millionaire, gave birth to her kid and her second husband, a singer and dancer, divorced her in 2017, Janet was once more alone.
By the way, both during and after the birth of her son, Janet Jackson put on too much weight. She did, however, reduce 50 kg, and now her weight is back to normal.
She had plainly undergone plastic surgery in addition to other alterations. The important point is that Janet does not enjoy it as much as her well-known brother.
