Memories

Melissa smiled but her heart ached as she looked at the smiling photo of her and her mother. She had died a year ago from cancer and Melissa missed her. Oh mom, her heart cried, why did you have to die? She could hear her mother's voice inside her. I'm with Jesus now. Only he knows. Youll see me again. "I WANT TO SEE YOU NOW!" wailed Melissa. She buried her head in the pillows on her bed and cried. She heard her grandma come into her room and the bed creaked as Mimi sat down by her side. "There, there" her old sweet comforting voice said. Melissa heard her sigh and knew her grandma was going through some memories. Then the sweet croaky voice said, "One time your mother...." and Melissa drifted into memories.

Kayla,
I read your blog today, you are a good writer (like your mom and dad!). Your story reminded me of how I felt when my dad died (I was a teenager), but when I am sad the memories always make me feel better. It is important to have good family times together, it makes wonderful memories.
