Residence of Tessa Matthews & Nick Stokes
Las Vegas Nevada ;March 13th 2004
"Meghan Sara Matthews!" I bellowed from the bottom of the stairs.
"Get out of bed NOW! You're going to be late for school!"
"What the heck are you yelling about mom?" Meghan's voice came from behind me. "I'm up, have been since 6am." I looked at my daughter in disbelief. "YOU got up at 6am? Meghan in all of your 13 year I have never seen you up before 8am on a school day"
"Well I had to pick this up. Happy birthday mom." She handed me a gift wrapped box and gave me a hug. "I gotta run. Don't wanna miss the bus. Love you Ma have a good day." Then she was gone.
I opened the box. Inside was a necklace. The thin, delicate chain held a tiny gold angel. Inside the card was written: "To the one, who's my angel. Happy 32nd Mom. Love, Meg xox.
Tears filled my eyes as I put the necklace on. Who in the world could ask for a better daughter? I thought to myself.
"Meg, honey, thank you so much for the necklace." I said as we cleaned the kitchen later that evening. Meghan smiled "your welcome mom"
"I promise never to take it off, Meg, don't want anything to happen to it"
"Meghan smiled "See you'll have an angel to watch over you, just like you did for me." She placed the tea towel on the drying rack.
"I'm gonna go over to Michelle's to study for the biology test. I'll be home at ten." Kissing me on the cheek, she was gone.
"Hey Tessa, what's going on?" Nick asked as he came into the kitchen.
"I think that my daughter is an angel." I said as I stared after her.
