"Nicole! Don't leave me!" Mimi cried from her sleep. "No! Please!
Come back!"
"Mimi! Mimi! Please wake up!" Tai called to her from her side.
Mimi awoke in a cold sweat. Tears streaked her cheeks and sad thoughts stained her mind.
"Oh Tai! It was awful! It was happening all over again! I-I-I couldn't stop it! I couldn't help her! Her own best friend couldn't help her!" Mimi stopped to take a deep breath as Tai wrapped his arms around her.
Mimi cried, just like she did that night, the night Nicole left to go home. The night that all the world was silent in mourning for a spunky young girl that left the world we know and took her place in the heavens.
"Mimi. I know how much you loved her. She was more your sister than your friend. You have a special connection that will never die. I'm not here to tell you to just forget, but I am here to tell you to never let go. Always keep hoping. Never give up. For life can be lost with the blink of an eye, and before you know it, you're stuck in that hole. I know what it's like, that deep dark pit that seems to have no bottom and no way out. Follow the light. I'm here with you."
Mimi was soon sleeping again with Tai still holding her. Tai had been praying for months that she would soon see the light and know that life would go on.
In the morning, Mimi woke up with a great amount of hope and joy. It was almost as if Tai had given her a new faith, and for the first time in five weeks, Mimi got up out of bed and looked out her window at the morning sun. She put her jogging close on and went for a run in the brisk spring air.
As she ran, she thought to herself, Wow! Nicole would love to see that cute little squirrel showing her babies how to crack a walnut! For once, it didn't make her sad to think of Nicole. She finally realized that memories were good and that Nicoles friendship for her will never fade.
