So yesterday I was watching Bones on Netflix and had a thought. Maybe... maybe I should write a book.
In the past couple weeks, I have been missing my mother like whoa. I know - I always miss her. But lately, I have been hit with this horrible wave of grief that makes me miss her even more. If only we had had more time together.
As a family who always believed in Heaven, I know that she is up there have a wonderful time. She is pushing for things to go our way for a change and making sure that we are doing alright. That helps with my book idea.
What if each year - for just one day - we got to be together? Can you imagine the adventures of mom and me during out 1 day a year break from all this stupid craziness that is our world today? That would be my book idea.
There is this girl who was coming up on her first birthday after losing her mother. She was distraught over the idea of celebrating the last year of her life which had been hell. I mean how do you celebrate a year where you lost your best friend? The morning of her birthday she wakes up to a glorious smell. She was in shock because we all know her father was only good a cooking two things for breakfast: eggs and meat. But this smell was fantastic - straight out of a bakery. For a second, it reminded her of her mothers homemade cinnamon rolls. But that can't be right - they took so long to make and Mom was gone. But she gathered her strength and went downstairs, not quiet knowing what to expect. As she turned the corner to the kitchen she froze. It couldn't be real. How was her mother standing there in her kitchen baking?! As soon as she realized that she wasn't dream (which required a lot of pinching herself) - she ran forward and engulfed her mother in a big hug. It was like it was 5 years ago - before the cancer and horrible side effects. Her mother was so happy and healthy. At that time, the mother explained to her surprised daughter of the deal - one day. Every year on her birthday they would get one day together to do everything and anything she wanted.
Can you imagine the adventures they would have?!
So... do I have a hit on my mind or WHAT?!
