Yesterday was fun thanks to Jamie and Connie. Good morning Mrs. Beck where’s dad. Morning miss.. You’re dad left early.. Oh.. I pouted my lips.. Let’s have breakfast then, after breakfast I hurried down to Mr. Brown. He immediately open the car door for me. As he started the car he asked me.. it’s a bit early miss, do you have a lot of patients today? .. I just smiled at him and said.. No. .I just want to visit mom, can we go there? Sure can miss… Let’s stop at a flower shop first I hope they are open by now… Minutes went by… Were here now miss… Then I opened the door.. Mr. Brown could you wait here for a few minutes.. Of coarse miss he smiled and nodded at me.. Thank you… I walk to mom's grave ..Alina V. Brook.. I sweep some of the leaves that was blocking her name.. I put her favorite flowers and sigh (flashback).. 15 years ago mom died with cancer dad tried to find the best doctors in town but all end up with no solution. After class I would go to the hospital and tell mom about my day, what activities I did.. or what are the new trends in school… I always remember her bright smile despite the condition she had, it always cheers me up. I have to be strong for mom. And I’ve always have faith that she’ll get better and all will be well. As days, weeks and months passed by mom’s condition got worse. Until one day after school I went to mom’s room I saw dad facing the wall with tears in his eyes, I asked him worriedly.. Dad, what happened? And why is mom covered with blanket? Dad didn’t answer me.. Mrs. Beck come to me crying she hugged me and said madam is gone dear.. Her words were like piercing knives through my heart I froze for a moment and then tears suddenly run to my face. Mom’s gone I mumbled.. After the funeral dad changed he never had emotions nor smiled and he drowned himself at work.. And he distance himself to me as if I could no longer reach him.. I never thought that the father I knew who’s cheerfull, loving, and caring.. Could be like this… one night as I was passing by his room I saw him crying holding moms picture in his hands.. From that moment on whenever I saw his eyes I saw the pain and longings he had for mom. (end of flashback).. Hi mom I bought your favorite flowers tulips.. I guess doesn’t have time to visit you.. He’s always busy with work.. I’m sorry I didn’t also have the time to visit you.. I really missed you mom… tears started to fall ..things would have been different if you’re here. How I wish I’d be able to see your smile. I don’t know what to do with dad his always distance from me ,I’ve always listen to him even if it hurts me.. I don’t know what to do anymore… Help me mom I just want dad to smile and be happy again..(sobbing) .. I suddenly felt chill as the winds blow on me.. It was a feeling that I missed for a very long time it feels like mom was there comforting me and hugging me. I wipe down my tears.. And smile (sniffing) don’t worry mom I’ll be fine.. I know your somewhere out there, watching over me. Thank you mom.. I love you so much…
