"Look at me! Mom, look!" A little girl yelled as she swung on a swing.

Presumably, the mom looked up to her daughter, "Look at your princess. You're almost touching the clouds."

"I am, I swear I am mommy. I feel like a bird."

"The cutest bird."

The girl hopped off her swing mid-flight, falling into the mulch, not even caring that she nearly scraped her knees as she hopped into her mother's lap.

The brown-headed girl hugged her mom as tight as she could, as well as a 4-year-old, could anyways.

"I love you pumpkin."

"I love you too mommy."

"Do you have to go?" A little boy asked his mom.

"I'm sorry honey, I do. You know how important this is for mommy."

"I know but who's going to read Diana her bedtime story?"

The boy's brown curls were covering her teary eyes. He has never been away from his mother no longer than 3 days in his 11 years of life.

Even then he could call his mom anytime he wanted, there was only 6 hour time difference stopping him after all, it just wouldn't be the same.

"Weston, don't worry okay bud? Mommy loves you so much. We will call every day and you can tell me about all of yours, Diana's, and Allie's adventures, deal?"

"De-ea-l." Weston hiccuped out as he 'tried' holding in his cries.

"Love you, buddy. You too, Diana." She whispered to the girl fast asleep on the floor as she hugged her son...

...little did they know that would be the last time they ever hugged again.
