Our Time (32 page)

Mommy felt bad that we weren't
with her when she died, but I told her it was okay. The doctor told her and
Daddy about something to do with Mommy still being in 'remission'. Whatever
that means. They were really happy, though, so I was glad we were there
instead.

Mommy hugged me tightly after she
gave me the paper, then Daddy wrapped his arm around her and took Monty's leash
out of my hands.

I unfolded the paper and took a
big breath just like Mommy showed me whenever I was feeling nervous.
"Sasha, you were a really good friend and I really liked talking to you.
Daddy said that you lasted longer than any fish he had ever had before, so I think
you were really strong, too. Don't forget me, okay?"

I put the paper on top of her box
and played with my bracelet before turning back to Daddy. "Do you think I
can get a fish that looks like Sasha to put on my bracelet?"

He smiled and knelt down in front
of me again while holding my wrist to look at the bracelet. He reached into his
pocket and pulled out a tiny silver fish. "I thought you might ask, so I
went and got one for you this morning. Should we go get it put on and then go
out for ice cream? In memory of Sasha, of course."

I smiled and nodded. Daddy always
knew how to make me feel better, too. One day, I would make them feel better
when they were sad, but who knows when that would be since they were always
happy.

About
the Author

Jessica
Wilde lives in Morgan Utah with her husband, daughter, and husky wolf, Kolo.
She has always had a love for reading and when she finds a good romance book,
she tends to lose sleep because she refuses to stop reading until she finds out
what happens. She started writing as a teen, but was always too self conscious
to share any of her stories so she threw them out. After becoming a mother and
deciding to stay at home to raise her daughter, she started writing again when
the ideas for a good book just wouldn't stop coming to her.

Her
husband is extremely supportive of her even though he doesn't really like to
read and he always has quick ideas to cure her writer's block. She hopes that
her daughter will enjoy reading as much as she does, but hopes that she will
wait until she is much older to read her mother's books.

Her
first published book is titled Every One Of Me and she plans to continue
writing until the ideas run out, which doesn't look like it will be any time
soon.
