.THIS IS A SERIES OF ONE SHOTS : This one is about Kate's Police Academy graduation and her longing to have her mother there and then her reminiscing about all of the graduations and moments her mother was there for.

KATE'S PERSPECTIVE

Today I was having a bad day. I just wanted my mom . It just seemed like i had nothing left of her.

It seems like I can barely remember her voice. I wish she was here. I usually am able to be

calmed by the words of Richard Castle since I had my Breaking Point but today is different.

Today is a day that she should be here. Today is The day i graduate from the police Academy. People have told me she would have been real proud. I do believe that. I did this for her but i would just love to see her smiling glowing face when They call my name and I am officially recognized as an officer of the law. I could almost picture her smiling face afterwards telling me she was real proud. I just wish that fantasy was true. That fantasy reminds me of a few precious moments with my mother.

KATE'S KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION

I look up at my mother she had a big bright smile as she looks into my eyes and says "you my precious little girl will go far, you are already growing up so fast." she said as she puts on my handmade cap and my bright purple gown .

" Mommy I am only going into the first grade, its not a big deal." I said as I give my mom a big hug and run off and stand by my friends.

After everything was over I ran back by my mom and she said " Katie you are my shining star and I am real proud."

KATE'S ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GRADUATION

My mother is calling me to come down to get ready. But i will not budge, she keeps calling but i just sit there on my bed refusing to get ready. refusing to except i am going into middle school.

My mother comes up and knocks on my door. I scream " I am not going! I can't! I don't want to leave elementary school!"

She comes in and sits on my bed and says "Katie you don't have to be afraid you will always have me no matter what, you'll be safe and happy as long as I am around I promise you."

" Promise?"

"Promise. Katie i will always be there for you because Katie you are my shining star and i will always be real proud of you."

KATE'S MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADUATION

I am getting ready for the ceremony and my Mother comes in and starts fussing over my outfit .

"Mom I am fourteen I don't need your help!"

"I know Katie, I know you don't need my help but I will always be here for you Katie because I love you."

"I know."

" Just don't you forget Katie You are my shining star and I am real proud."

KATE'S HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION

" Mom it just feels so surreal , I don't want to grow up mom, I don't want to lose you."

" honey you'll never lose me, I will always be there because you are still my little girl, you always will be."

"Katie whatever happens remember your are My shining star and I am real proud."

" I know, Mom I know." I said as I grin and hug her.

BACK TO KATE'S POLICE ACADEMY GRADUATION

After thinking back that is when I realize it. She isn't missing today she is here and I know that I am her shining star and that she is real proud of me today.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A SEQUEL TO MY ONE SHOT BREAKING POINT.

IF YOU LIKE THAT IDEA AND WANT ME TO DO THAT PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW! PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
