A Visit With Mother

“Hello dear Mother. “ I say with a whisper. “

Hello Mother I’ve brought your favorite Tulips “I say with joy in my heart


“Do you remember the time when I was 5? And I threw a baseball to Danny? ……“


“……yes that’s right!! You said I was the strongest man alive. Ha ha.”


I move closer to my Mother. Sometimes she is hard of hearing.


“Mother I saw Dad at the shop today. He said you were making your heavenly meatballs tonight for dinner. You know I’m stopping by!!”


I need to sit. My legs are very tired. Mother looks just like an angel with her ribbons in her hair. She reminds me of my graduation. When she found Me and Danny smoking weed behind the garden. She was still dressed up from the graduation. She told us to find a better hiding spot before dad found out. “Mother, Its so nice to see you today. I’ve been having troubles. I don’t think I can live on my own. May i please return home? I miss you and dad so bad! Please Mother just for awhile …”



“Terry! …..Terry.” I hear Danny’s voice calling from behind “ Mother I have to go now Danny is here for me. I’ll be back for Dinner tonight. “


“Terry…Terry…it’s time to go” Danny puts his hand on my shoulder. “Terry unlock you wheel chair please.” I can’t see Mother anymore. Oh Mother please. “ Danny we have to find Mother!!! Danny stop god damn it what about mother??!!!”


Danny turns to me with a lot of anger “ Terry please!! Every time ?? Ok……look brother I’m sorry for what happened that night. But Terry ,the car accident was 5 years ago…Mom and Dad died and you were paralyzed. But you need help brother.” Danny started to cry. I never seen Danny Cry. “I love you Terry. But Mom and Dad are not alive. It’s just me and you buddy.”


Maybe Danny might be a little right. I thought to myself. Maybe they don’t have ghosts here.

“ Hey Danny?” I asked quietly. “Before we go

Could you walk back to moms grave and get my glove? It’s next to moms flowers.”


“Ok Terry. Let me get you in the van first. Ok buddy?”


After a couple minutes Danny went back to mom’s grave to get my glove. I don’t know what I was thinking.


Oh here comes Danny now. His face looks a little different. “Terry where is the glove?? I didn’t see any glove!!” Danny seemed very confused. “ I saw you with it when I left you here. What happened to it. We are the only ones here”


Danny went quietly to the drivers side door. But when he opened it he turned white. On the seat was the glove and flowers with a note ..”𝕎𝕖 𝕝𝕠𝕧𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕓𝕠𝕥𝕙."


Danny and I cried for ten minutes. And then decided to leave the sad place and get some meatballs.
