"Mona wake up" dad shouts knocking on the bedroom door, I wake up and look at the time '07:56'

"dad it's too early"

"come on, we're going somewhere that's around 2hrs away" I get up and get dressed thinking about what this location is.we get on a bus and 2hrs later we get to a little town "right now it's a few miles up this road" I look around,  I know this place but I can't put my finger on it.

"turn right" I say as we get to some junction

"are you sure?" Janey asks

"yes, I know this place but can't figure out where it is exactly"

"ok then" Dad says and we turn right, a few minutes later I finally remember

"we're going to gates, Grandmother has been here"

"how do you know?" Dad asks

"I regonise this road and I remember her telling me about it cause she got some flowers and things from there and put them in a bag with the date and location, I got it in her will"

"where do the gates belong to then?"

"Neverland" I smile then we see the turning and the gates in the distance "see I told you" I walk off ahead and get there, wow this place is amazing no not amazing it's magical.  I take pictures along with selfies then I look on the wall at all the signatures and messages.

"Look for a red pen" Dad says

"why?"

"my mother wrote in red, near the post box" I go to the post box and look

"there" I smile pointing out the red writing, it feels strange seeing my grandmother's writing after so many years. I take a picture of it and then I look for an empty space to write my own, I also take a picture of my writing and picks up some leafs, flowers,  twigs, stones anything around the gates. After an hour we decide to leave before my emotional feels come on but that isn't gonna stop me, I ask to visit Forest Lawn knowing it was gonna be a no but to my surprise it was a yes. we get there along with buying a mixture of multicoloured flowers surrounding roses and sunflowers on the way I walk straight to the section I came to visit, I find a place to put them down and then I take a moment of silence before we leave.as soon as we get back to the hotel I put the nature things I collected in a small see through bag and put a label on it. Later that evening we're going back to the theatre to see the Michael Jackson show which I for one is looking forward too, we get there and take our seats.

"you're only allowed 3 items" Dad laughs as we get to the merchandise stall

"what?" I ask a little confused

"only kidding"

"oh, phew" I smile and then buy 1 of everything that was available to buy.

"hey, you live in Benidorm" the impersonator says to me whilst I was outside waiting for dad and Janey, I'm shocked I'm meeting him cause he's pretty famous now and confused at how he knows that.

"um yeah, how do you know?"

"I was on holiday there 3 months ago and I regonise you"

"oh wow, that's pretty shocking.  you did a good show tonight"

"thanks, not as good as the original through"

"it was the next best thing"

"thanks, you want an autograph?"

"sure" I smile and hand him the programme and he signs it then we take probably around 30odd photos on my phone and we say bye just as Dad and Janey was walking out, as we're walking off he gets bombarded with fans thank god it happened after I saw him. I then did the usual when I got to the hotel, put the things on the floor by my suitcase and then get ready for bed and climb into the gigantic bed and basically pass out for the night.
