Okay, I figured I'd do a little short sequel like thing, because I got a lot of good feedback on it :)

Well, I DID finally get my history paper done. But I now am procrastinating on my Health essay… What can I say? I do my best righting when I am putting off doing something else!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything at all. I wouldn't mind owning it, but I sadly do not.

See, there's a thing about ghosts. We only stick around till we've done what we have to do. Then we move onto whatever is left for us. And honestly, I don't know what that is yet. Maybe it's heaven, or just a limbo. Maybe there is such a thing as reincarnation. I honestly don't know what's next. I just know that as soon we finish whatever we didn't finish while we were alive, we move on. And I know I can't move on until I know my girls are happy.

Maria I know will find someone. See, at first, I was really angry. It wasn't my time to go yet! No! And then I got angry because I knew I couldn't leave until Maria and Gabriella were happy. What worried me was that they'd have to find new men in their lives.

I was being selfish, I later realized. I wanted my girls to be happy. Besides, it's been nine years. I want both my girls happy. I resigned to the fact, probably about five years ago, that Maria needed to find someone else. Gabi was a junior now. She'll be in college soon. And I don't want Maria lonely. As for Gabi, I always knew one day she'd have to grow up. She'd find someone too. What surprises me the most is that I surrendered to the fact that Maria had to find someone before I surrendered to fact that Gabriella did.

I just wasn't prepared for it to happen yet.

And then… there it was. My little girl is growing up. I remember when I first taught her how to play. Basketball that is. Her boyfriend just asked her about it. I was wondering when she'd get around to telling him about me.

I'm not angry. I understand it's hard for her to talk about. I'm just glad she told him eventually.

This kid, Troy, he's a good kid. He plays basketball, which is always a plus. Not to mention, he plays well. But, so much more than the fact that he can dribble a ball, and put it into a hoop, he is good to my Gabi.

This kid who give her the moon if he could, honestly. And then he says it. And my heart stops. This boy just told my little girl he loved her.

I wait, holding my breath. What will she say?

And then she says it. She loves him too.

And that's when I know. She's found him.

Then, I swear, he gets the biggest grin on his face I've ever seen in my life.

They lay back down, and I know that this is the proudest moment I've shared with my daughter yet. I just wish she had known I was here for her.

So I do the only thing I can.

I give the boy a pat on the back, and kiss my Gabi on the cheek.

Now all I have to do is wait for Maria.

Okay, when I set out to write this, I thought it'd be a short little sequel. If you all want, it can still be.

If not, I DO have ideas to continue this. What do you think?

Love,
