*Okay so I was looking through my old folders and I found this story that I wrote in Grade 5, which made me 11 at the time. I found it deep for a 11 year old to write and I wanted to share it, even though it doesn't go for very long at all. So, have fun reading! :)
A most memorable day
As I looked down, a tear fell from my cheek into the Ocean.
I looked to the side and saw a pebble.
I picked it up and threw it out into the ocean's waves.
I turned around and, with the foggy mist in my face, I saw someone. Someone who made me happy.
I looked closer and I started to smile for I knew who it was.
It was my dad.
I couldn't believe it, I thought he was gone for good this time but when I blinked, he was gone.
"Maybe I was just so upset that I imagined him there?" I thought to myself, but just when I believed it was a dream, I saw him again.
I was so excited that I ran back to the house as fast as I could and told everyone that I saw my dad but the bad news was, they didn't believe me.
"Dylan, I am sorry but, you were imagining it all. We all know he's far away now," My mum explained.
"Dylan, I know you and dad were really close but you can say goodbye tomorrow," My sister Mia reasoned.
"You don't understand, I saw him, he's come back for me!" I yelled desperately.
"Honey, you know he can't come back," Mum said.
"Argh I am going for a walk," I said angrily, "I'll be back later."
As I walked out I slammed the door running and crying towards the beach.
When I stopped crying I saw a glow, I turned around and saw myself face to face with my dad.
He held out his hand and I placed mine in his as we sat on a log.
"Son, I know it's been a rough time for not just you, but everybody, but you've got to move on, I am in the past now. But just know that I love you and the others and promise me you'll look after them," My dad said.
Tears flooded to my eyes as I said, "I will."
"Good, I need to go now," He said with a warm smile.
"Bye dad, I love you."
"I love you too, son."
It finally felt right again.
The next morning I got up early and got ready. It was time for my dad's funeral.
