Memories are forever... (sequel to Anna's Diary) - *THE END! (9.april)*

[Theraven]

coincidences seems to happen all the time with me. like for two or three days ago when I saw a magazine lying on the kitchen table. on the front page, I saw a heading that said something like "sacrified her life for her son", with a picture of a woman holding a new born baby in her hands. I got curious, and opened the magazine to find out more.

guess who got really surprised when she saw that the baby's name was Liam, and that he was born a bit too early.

and even more surprised when I saw that his mother had had cancer, and died after the baby was born because she didn't want to abort the child so she could get the treatment she needed. (Anna, anyone?)

even more surprised when I saw that she had three more children - one that was 10, one that was 8, and one that was around 2 - but all of them were girls, though. (angela was ten, Brian was 9 and Alice was around two...)

it's not the exact same story, but.... well, it does have its likeness to the one I wrote about Anna...

to come to think about now after i read what you just wrote. i just rememberd my cousin who had breast cancer and she was pregant with twins. and she didn't want to go through treatment or surgery til after the twins were born.. and sometime after i guess that after she was just about done with treatment she died leaving her twins with no mom.... the twins names courtney and austin not only did she leave the twins she had 2 other children

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 8: Coming back
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Coming back to school was, in a way, good. Lately school had been a place where she could forget things – even just for a few moments every day. She also looked forward to see her friends again. Now, however, things were much easier than they had been. The inspiration that had completely disappeared when her mother died had finally returned.
“We’ll start with something light, since it’s the first day back,” the teacher said, after she had greeted them.



“I want you to write about something that happened to you in the holiday. Maybe you got inspiration to do something, or maybe you just got what you wished for when you opened a gift. You can write it the way you like – short story, poem, song text, or a report – whatever you want. And it is to be handed in tomorrow.”



Angela smiled. She knew exactly what to write. She took her notebook and a pen up from her backpack, and began to put her ideas into writing.

“I… I don’t know what to say, Angela.” Her teacher looked completely stunned. It was the day after Angela had handed in her work, and her teacher had apparently liked her work. “It’s the best poem I’ve read for a really long time.”



Angela felt her face blushing. “Thanks.”



“Definitely an A+, this one. Good work! Ehm… Do you mind reading it up in front of the class? You don’t need to if you don’t want, of course. It’s an emotional poem. You wrote it because of your mother, right?”



“Yes. But I don’t mind reading it.”
“Thank you, Angela.” Her teacher stood up, and clapped her hands to get the class’ attention. “Listen up, people! Angela has got something she wants to say.”

[Theraven]

Angela was a little nervous, but felt that reading up the poem was important to her. She went up to the headboard, but before she reached it, a ray of sunshine lighted up the space in front of her. She looked out of the window. It had rained all day, but for a moment there, the sun had peeked out of the clouds.



She smiled. Apparently, her mother also wanted her to read the poem. She turned towards her class, and started reading.





(and for those that have troubles reading it in the picture, here's the poem in real text)

“Memories are forever

A moment passed
Then you were gone.
No time for goodbyes
No hugs or kisses.
Just gone.

Just an angel more in the sky
An angel between millions
No one to care. No one to see
That you’re special.

To me you’re flawless
And I couldn’t care less
If anyone told me otherwise.
They never saw you
Through these eyes of mine
So wonderful you were
My angel.

How could it happen?
How can they justify
That you’re gone forever
It only makes me cry

Don’t say that it was inevitable
That nothing could be done
Blood is thicker than tears,
Still I cry mine.

What was will never be again.
What was is gone for good
Don’t call me brave,
When there’s nothing left in me
Strong enough to fight.

But you told me
Never give in!
Never stop believing!
There’s more to life than pain.
Remember what we were
And carry our happiness
In your heart.

You believed
In every good thing
Giving you strength
Memories never forgotten
Will give you life
My angel

I can almost hear your voice
Calling down from the sky
- remember me with happiness
And dry your tears, my love
We’ll meet again in heaven
But for now I’m in your heart.

You live on in me
In every shadow,
Every reflection
In my dreams.

I know I can’t bring you back, mom
But I wouldn’t be without
All those memories
We shared together
It’s just that now, they make me smile."


Angela didn’t really hear the applause. She was looking out of the window.



It had stopped raining now, and she saw for the first time that day a blue spot in the sky. And in between the clouds that now slowly moved away, she could see a brilliantly colored rainbow.

[Astral Faery]

Sigh.  So heartfelt.  Very pretty - nicely done.  I love the effect of the sun rays coming in through the window, too.

[milie529]

Wow!! Again, a really good chapter! And your poem was so emotional! Do you write poem frequently? Because it was so good! Can't wait for the next chapter :-P

[auntiejokisses]

i cryed while i was reding the poem..

[Theraven]

I got a lot of MSN help with the poem from one of my best friends. we wrote some each, and I put it together to what it became. I'm not very good with poems, but with a little inspiration (from my friend, who loves to write poems), even I can come up with something

Can't wait for the next chapter/ending thing.
