Mommy Don't Be Sad

One morning I woke up, and I walked up to my mommy. As I walked in, I  heard her crying but I thought it was my crazy imagination. 

But as I walked in I saw her sitting in her chair facing the wall crying. I turned the chair to face me and asked her what was the matter but there was no answer. I asked her again and with still no answer, I asked her to please answer me. 

All she said was you would not understand. 

I sat on her lap and hugged her. As I wiped her tears away my dog Shadow jumped on my lap and I fell off the chair. After I fell off  he also fell off  the chair, but when we reached the floor he started licking my face before I got up. That made her laugh. I said there it is and she said asked me to jump on her lap. I did and she hugged me tightly and gave me monster kisses. 

But then she told me why. I said why why would that happen. I can’t believe that. You were right that is hard to understand  but I think I do a little. I started crying. She started crying. It was water works. But that same night I was in my room when I wanted to see my mom and she was crying again. 

Now this time I hugged her and gave her a kiss and I said, "Mom I don’t like seeing you like this." 

I can never explain to her and my emotions still today I can not forget of how sad I was for her on that day. I love my mom and dad. If this was not a personal story of what happened that day and I told you, you would also be as sad as I was.


It is in times like this that I pray to God to hear prayers for things I don't always understand. And if anybody who reads this is sad, I pray your heart is filled with smiles.

Hi laura, you have touched my heart with your story. I am not easily moved by what I normaly read, but for a moment there, it made me realize how sometimes I neglect to see that the most simple of things can make a lasting impression in our heart.
