After
she hung up the phone, Sarah said to herself, 'could Dad actually be
dating?' Then she thought, 'No, there is no way. He still misses Mom so
much.' That brought tears to her eyes. She slid down in the chair and
thought about her mom. She looked up, as tears rolled down her face and
said, "Mom I miss you so much, how I wish you could be here to see me
today. It seems like a lifetime since you went away." Then she was
overcome with grief and laid her head down and sobbed uncontrollably.
Suddenly she felt a cool breeze blow her hair, it felt almost like someone
ran their hand through her hair softly, then she heard a soft voice
whisper her name, the voice said, "Don't cry baby girl, don't
cry." Sarah looked up through her tear filled eyes and there stood
Susie, a bright light shone around her, she looked so beautiful. She had
on a flowing white gown. Just like the one she had seen Angel Doris
wearing.
Sarah
rubbed her eyes, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. This couldn't
be real, could it? About that time Susie held her arms out and said,
"It's okay baby, it's really me." Sarah ran into her arms and
held her mom so close, not wanting to let her go. Susie rubbed Sarah's
head and held her tight. She whispered, "I love you baby girl, to the
moon and back, forever and always honey, forever and always." Then
Sarah heard a noise, it was Justin, shaking her and yelling, "Sarah,
Sarah, wake up." Sarah looked around and said, "Where is
Mom?" Justin said, "Sarah, you were dreaming. I heard you as I
walked past your room. You were sobbing and calling out for Mom. Are you
okay?" Sarah stood up and looked around, not wanting to scare Justin
any more than he was, then she said, "I'm fine, I promise.
She
looked at the clock and said, "Oh my goodness, Justin, it's already
four thirty and I'm going to be late for my own party." Justin
giggled and said, "You got two and a half hours, sis, Just
chill." Then he laughed. "Okay silly," she said. "Now
get out of here and let me get ready." He laughed again as he ran off
to play. After he left, Sarah thought, 'I must have been dreaming but it
felt real, but it had to be a dream, there is no way my mom could have
been here, although that would of been nice, anyway, I need to get busy if
I'm going to be on time for my party.' She grabbed her robe and headed for
the shower.
