Quarante-sept

Liliane was devastated. Her parents were dead and she wasn't there to spend their last days with them. Matthieu had told her about their mothers death.

Now she was standing at the grave, tears running down her porcelain cheeks. She felt arms wrapping around her and she knew it was Matthieu. "They were proud of you.", he whispered.

"Gosh, I was so stupid. I remember the day I left, mommy was crying and daddy held her close. He was on the verge of tears too and I just got into the train. I didn't even look back.", she said, crying.

"We all do mistakes. But they loved you. And they knew you loved them too.", Matthieu said, "if you want, you can live with me and Juliet. We'd love to have you around, little sister." Before he left, he handed her an envelope then he turned around and left.

Liliane opened the envelope.

"Dear Lili,
As you know, I suffered from your father's death a lot. Now that I have grown old, I wanted to tell you that he loved you. And so do I. Even when I rest, you should know that you're loved.
Love, mom."

Liliane broke down crying. "Oh mommy, I love you guys too. And I will spend the rest of my life missing you.", she whispered, "mommy, I wanted to be like you."

Liliane was married and had given birth to a beautiful baby girl. Then it was time to baptize the child. Gavroche showed her the place, she was baptized all those years ago. "Your mother was an amazing person and I know so will you.", Gavroche said, holding his daughter's hand.

"Thanks 'vroche.", she said.

The church was filled with family members, all the family members of her father's side. Gavroche had met them when he was still 11.  It's been 63 years ago. "Do you think they see us?", she asked. "Of course they do. And they are very proud of you.", Matthieu said.

The sun was shining now. No cloud to be seen. And Gavroche wiped away a tear.

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place....
