"Look Tommy. Do you see those little dots, sparkling in the dark night sky?"
"Uh huh."
"Those are stars Tommy. They give us light when the sun has gone down. They watch over us, as our guardians."
"Cool!"
"Tommy, I'll be part of those stars one day. I will leave this world, but I will still be here, here with you. I will be your guardian, watching from the night sky."
"But I don't want you to go."
"Neither do I Tommy. No one wants to leave, but it's not our choice. We all end up passing, and there really is nothing we can do about it. And also," he continued, "I won't be leaving you Tommy. I will still be watching you grow up, just from a different place. From the sky." He pointed towards the stars.
"Oh, ok. Will I end up in the sky one day too Dad? Will we get to see eachother again?"
"Yes Tommy. Everyone will one day become a star, a guardian to another young child as your ancestors are to you. We will see eachother there, but we're not there yet right? Let's enjoy our time on Earth while it lasts."
"How much longer do we have on Earth dad?"
"I would tell you if I knew, but we still have a while, it's okay, you don't have to worry."
"Oh." Tommy smiled. "That's good."

Tommy felt a tear roll down his cheek as he put the photo away. It felt good to look back at old times, happier times. Why did you have to leave me so soon dad? You told me that you would be here for a while, you said you wouldn't leave. I was only 10. You said you would watch me.
'Oh Tommy, I'm so sorry, but it's okay. I am still watching you, just from a new and better place now. You don't have to worry, for it'll be okay. We'll meet again.'
One day father, we'll meet again.

(I have no idea why I wrote this, but here you go. Chapter's a little later than usual, cause I'm tired af and am feeling kind of sick. If you have any thoughts, questions or feedback please tell me. By the way, second part is coming tomorrow.)
