She stood looking out over her balcony, staring out at the sea. The water was calm and the sky was gray. '140' she thought to herself. 'When did I turn 140?' It seemed like yesterday she was nursing her first born son. 'No' she thought to herself, 'It wasn't yesterday it was almost 120 years ago.

'My heart died today.' 'He left me quietly in his sleep, we had taken a nap and when I awoke he was gone'. She thought back to the afternoon.. "Love I am an old man and old men need their naps." She smiled back at him "yes love I know that for I am an old woman and old women need their naps also." He got an evil glint in his eyes and said "so dear one we shall nap." The couple had become one that afternoon, as they had done many times before and when they were finished they slept..

She watched the sea gulls diving for their nightly meal. She softly sighed. 'The children will be here soon. That thought made her smile. 'Children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and so on.'

She woke from her nap and rolled over to face her love. She was searching for his warmth. She soon realized that there was no warmth, she reached up and pushed the raven hair from his face, his skin felt like ice he was so cold. She knew then that she was alone.

Mum, mum where are you? "I may be old Jade but I do not think my hearing has left me". "Oh mummy I am so sorry about daddy how are you doing?" Her lovely daughter brought her into a tight embrace. " I am fine dear, " Jade looked her over and said "Mummy Samuel flooed me he won't be here until tomorrow he sends his love."

She got a thoughtful look on her face Samuel her oldest."Ah look at all that black hair, no wonder you had such heartburn." Smiled Madame Pomfrey as she looked down at her charge. Her charge smiled at her as her hair clung to her face and her love gripped her hand. "Yes Poppy, but is he healthy?"

" Is there any lasting effects from." No dear he is healthy and he is strong." As if the babe new they were talking about him he let out a shrieking cry.

"Mummy mummy can you hear me?" She looked startled "what oh I am so sorry Jade I just got caught up in my memories.

Well all I really don't know if I should continue or not I wanted to try my hand at writing I am sure it is crap but let me know what you all thought
