A Story
I got up early in the morning. Thinking today again is another hectic day. Taking care of kids, home, business, husband, and many more chores. I started the day feeling down. I though if I have so many things to do why should I even bother thinking what I really like to do.
As I went through the day I felt an empty feeling coming over me. I was once had a depression problem for about seven years. I finally managed to come out of it. And I really didn't want to get to the habit of negative thinking and pile them up to get depressed again. That is why I just left it alone. But feeling of not knowing what to do, questions of what is life about?, and many more wouldn't go away.
I came home an hour early. No energy to do the house chores. I sat on the couch and turned on the TV . Clicking, clicking, till I stopped at the one channel which kids where playing at the playground. You could hear them laughing and birds singing.
Two five year old girls were sitting on the bench talking. This was a French school. One girl name Ponette has just lost her Mom. She was confused and sad. She wanted to see, hug, and kiss her mom, but everyone told her that she is dead. She is in haven with God.
Ponette searches for her mom by asking her friends. One says you need to talk to God and send your message through him.
Every night, she cries and pray to God to give her message to her mom. She wants her mom so bad. Other kids tease her that she lost her mom because she was mean. At night she cries herself to sleep praying to see her mom. I am not mean, I am not bad. Please God, I want to see my Mom.
Ponette talks to her friends that I have talked to God, but there is no answer.
The week passes and kids go home on weekends. Ponette's dad is coming to pick her up on Friday. She can't wait anymore. She packs her backpack and hits to the cemetery. On the way she picks up a flower and put it on her mom's grave. She falls on her mom's grave, cries and tell her mom about all the happenings at the school.
Suddenly her mom picks her up. Hugs and kiss her. Oh!
Are you cold? Mom asks Ponette. When you left the school I thought you'll be cold. So I
brought this red sweater for you.
Mom put the red sweater on Ponette. They have a great day together. They walk
through the woods. Mom walks her back to school. Ponette doesn't want her mom to leave. Mom says: I am dead. I can't stay.
Ponette is sad. Mom jumps up and captures something in the air and give it
to Ponette. What is it mom? Mom opens
her hand and says: remember when we were at Janet's birthday party. This is it. The good memory we
had together. When you feel sad capture a memory to feel good again. We had good memories
together and there will be many more for you to come.
They are now close to school. Mom says: I am tired now and I have to rest. Go back to school, dad will be waiting for you. Mom says: Do you know what? I am not sad when you are happy.
Mom hugs and kiss Ponette and takes her back to school. Ponette walks toward school, she wants to see her mom for last, turns around and looks back, but mom is not there anymore.
Ponette continues walking toward the school. She sees Dad's car parked in front of the school. She runs toward the school. Dad comes out of the car and hugs her.
Dad: Ponette where have you been?
Ponette: I've seen
mom in flesh and blood.
Dad: have you gone to cemetery?
Ponette: she gave me her red
sweater.
Dad: Oh, I haven't seen this sweater for a long time.
Then they get in the car and head for home.
Dad is driving. Ponette is looking
outside, watching trees. She is not sad anymore. Ponette
looks at her dad and Says: Mom told me she is going to rest for a while. We had a good time
together.
Her dad looks at her and smiles.
Do you know what Mom told me?
What did Mom tell you!
Mom said: Learn to be happy.
