Linda's Memories

[Flashback]

Linda: Sota, one day I hope you will find the person of your dreams and fall madly in love until the day you depart from this world just like me and your father.

Little Sota: Mom what's heaven like?

Linda: It's a place filled with angels and other departed souls from the living.

(Little Sota was smiling)

Little Sota: So...dad is up there with the angels?

Linda: Yes he is and he's watching over us everyday till morning and dawn.

Little Sota: I miss him, Linda: I miss him too.

[Flashback]

Linda: Sota time for bed now.

Little Sota: Mom will you read me a story?

Linda: Ok what story do you want to hear?

Little Sota: Make up one.

Linda: Hahaha I just make up one right now, but I can try.

(Linda tells her story to Sota hoping he will fall asleep)

Linda: And they both lived happy for the rest of their lives.

Little Sota: That was great mom, now I feel sleepy.

Linda: Good let me tuck you in then. *Kisses on head*

Linda: Goodnight Sota, I love you.

Little Sota: Love you too mom.

[Flashback]

Little Sota: Mom, can you help me with my homework?

Linda: Sure, what do you need help with?

Little Sota: Math and English.

Linda: Too easy, we'll be done in no time.

(Helping with homework took no time just like she said)

Little Sota: Thanks mom are you going in the garden later?

Linda: Yeah just let me get my hat and the veggie seeds and we will be ready to plant.

Little Sota: Awsome mom.

(Planting all kinds of veggies made mother and son tired and hot)

Little Sota: I want some lemonade, what about you mom?

Linda: Lemonade would be great, lets go make some.

*Making lemonade*

Linda: We are meeting up with Izumi and Kagome later for the picnic at he park.

Little Sota: Do I need to wear socks because it's really hot today.

Linda: No you can wear your sandles.

[Flashback]

Aunt Izumi: Hey Sota, come give your aunt a hug. *Hugs*

Little Kagome: Sota do you want to play hopscotch?

Little Sota: Ok but we don't have a rock.

Little Kagome: I have one in my pocket.

(While the kinds played Linda talks to her sister Izumi)

Aunt Izumi: Did you bring the book?

Linda: Yes, did you bring the camera?

Aunt Izumi: Sure did, you know I really keep a camera.

Linda: Oh yeah I know, if you didn't lose it you broke it.

Aunt Izumi: I think this maybe my third one this year.

Linda: Wow Izumi.

(The kids finished playing hopscotch and sat with Linda and Izumi)

Little Kagome: What is that aunt Linda? Linda: It's a book of memories.

Little Sota: Book of memoeries of what?

Aunt Izumi: Memories of our past, present, family and possible future.

Little Kagome: You brought a camera to take pictures and put them into the book.

Linda: Yes Kagome and the first picture will be youa and Sota.

(She looked excited yet certain)

Little Sota: What kind of pose do you want us to do?

Aunt Izumi: A normal one now come on get close together.

(Aunt Izumi took the picture and it came out perfect)

Linda: In the book it goes.

Aunt Izumi: Now linda you and Sota together.

(Picture snapping went on and so did the memories that Linda had with Izumi, Kagome, and her son Sota)
