Willow's Point of View
Mommy and daddy told me they need to talk to me about something. For a second I thought I was in trouble because I have a friend who sometimes gets in trouble and that's how their parents start but mommy and daddy didn't look angry. They looked sad.
Jade's point of view
"Sweetie," I told Willow, "There's something daddy and I have to talk to you about. Do you remember your friend Callou?"
"Uh-huh," she said excited, "When are we gonna see her again?"
I had to stop the tears from falling,
"Honey Callou was in an accident the other day," Beck said wiping a tear from his eye, "She went to heaven"
"Where's heaven," Willow asked, "We can visit her there"
I shook my head.
"Heaven is too far away to visit," I said, "It's a place everyone has to get to on their own."
"Okay," Willow said sadly, "Can we write to her?"
"It- you know what? Yes. Let's send her an email," Beck said
I sent Beck a text asking him who's going to 'answer' the email. Beck wrote back saying 'me'. We would send it to heavenlystar at aol dot com. That was the only account Willow didn't know about. Willow wrote Callou an email. A couple of days later Beck wrote back.
Hey Willow,
Heaven is beautiful here and I miss you but I want you to know I'll always be an email away. Oh my mommy says she's proud of you and she loves you too and to listen to your mommy and daddy and be sure to take your medicine without fussing. She said your mommy and daddy have a surprise for you if you do. I love you. Callou
Willow was so excited.
"I got a computer letter from Callou," she told us grinning.
Willow's point of view
I took my medication today with no fuss just like Callou said I should. I sent Callou an email back and mommy and daddy let me stay up late to watch Cinderella. Today has been a good day.
