Today is August 2007, 6 years had passed since Savannah was born and the day her mother was born. Kevin, he is still the same, he dated, but never loved. Each time he gets in a serious relationship he thinks he is betraying his trust in Lucy, and betraying her. However, he knows that she would want the best for her. Sometimes he wonders why god wanted him to have Lucy leave his life; he loved her for god sakes. Savannah, now she is a big girl, she is starting to look like her mother, which makes Kevin happy and yet sad.
As I walk back into the living room where I see Savannah I sit down next to her, I have a book in my hand that I want to give her, I know she wont understand what it is or who she is, but she has the right to know who her mother is. I cannot have her live life in a lie.
"Savannah," I said nervously. She looked at me, and smiled. "Daddy, can I ask you a question?" Savannah asked m. "Sure honey, anything you want, and you know I am always here for you, right?" Savannah nodded. "Why don't I have a mommy?" I sighed. "Savannah, I was coming to you to tell you this today." "Okay, but why don't I have a mom?" "Savannah, your mom loved you very much, she couldn't wait for you to be born. However, when she was having you, there was some complications and, well, she died. Your mom was very smart, pretty, nice, outgoing and would do anything for anyone. She wanted to be just like Reverend Camden." She was starring at me. "When is she coming back?" She asked me. God, this is going to be though. "Savannah, your mom can't come back, she's dead." "Where is she?" "Have you ever heard of heaven? When you die, god sends you to heaven, one day you'll meet her, in your next life time." Savannah looked down. "So I will never see her?" "No, but I have some pictures of her that I would like to give you. Here is your baby book also, your mom started to make it, these are some pictures before you were born, and until now."
God, why did you have my mom leave me. I have one wish that I would like to ask for; it is to live life as if my mom was still alive. I know it cannot happen but I want it to. I want to see how life would be if she was alive. I want to see her, talk to her, and maybe a movie if you can find one of her.
"Savannah!" Annie yelled. "Grandma, what was my mom like?" I asked her. "Savannah, your mom was a wonderful woman and a wonderful daughter. If she was still here, I know that you would have loved her, everyone loved her, and everyone wanted her as a daughter. She planned to be a minister, like your grandfather, she wanted to work where her father did, and wanted to be just like him. In high school, she helped a lot, she did everything she can do, and tried her best not to be like her sister Mary. ""Why didn't she want to be like Aunt Mary?" I sighed. "Mary, was more of a tough girl, tomboy. When she was in 12th grade, she did something stupid, and her team did it too. They went and trashed the school gym, which they vandalized, and were sent to jail. They all lost their scholarships, and decided to drop out of school. When Lucy went to school, Mary decided to go to college, which we were very thankful about." "Cool, was my mom pretty? I didn't open the book my dad gave me." "Yes, she was very pretty."
I wish my mom were here right now, she seems like a great person, I really miss her even though I do not know her. Why did you have to take my mom away from me? I hope one day I can meet her.
Sometimes I dream about how my mom is, how she act, what she looks like. Sometimes I see my dad hold a perfume that smells good; I think it was my moms though. I always wondered how life would be if my mom was here, if she was nice and everything else. From what I heard, she was. I wish she were alive, I wish we could rewind life that she would not have died.
"Dad I love you, thanks for always helping me when I need you." I told him and gave him a hug. "I am glad you're my dad and you married my mom." Kevin smiled and hugged her back and gave her a kiss.
I hoped you enjoyed this chapter, sorry it was short. Please read and review.
