I wish I was there with her right now. But then again, death has a funny way of putting things into perspective. I wouldn't have been able to send the band that changed her life, the band that brought her passion for music back. Every teen should be experiencing the wonder that is given at this point in their life, teens shouldn't have to grow up any faster because the ones they love are in a better place - and I speak from experience on this matter.
It's crazy to think that just a couple of months ago she was grieving over my death instead of going on and living her life. I didn't expect her to get over it quickly but I hadn't expected it to hold her back from being a star.
I'd been trying to help her, and show her that I hadn't forgotten her, with no means to come in contact with her personally. the next best thing I could do was send someone other than myself to pass my message on.
The first people who seemed suitable for the job, were three seventeen-year-olds that I met back in 1995. They were being dumb and flirty like all boys, when I first met them. They belonged to a newly debuted band called Sunset Curve, I'd gotten to watch them rehearse for the show that would have kick started their career.
I don't know exactly what happened to them but the next thing I know everyone was running around in a panic because we no longer had an opening band. I eventually found out the devastating story about what had happened later that night while watching the news with my dad.
Life had thrown Julie a curveball and even though I was technically the person hit by that ball I was determined to root for her from the sidelines. Now that I had a plan all that was left was to somehow figure out how to make a cohesive band out of my teenage daughter and three other teen boys. I wished upon all my lucky stars that this would go as planned, hopefully I'm granted more control now that I'm not doing fate's bidding.
My only goal now that I'm an angel is to protect. I may not have any official unfinished business, but protecting my daughter and giving her the best life I can from the afterlife would most certainly be my new ambition.
