11 YEARS EARLIER....
" Coco? Honey, mommy needs to talk to you about something!" Mommy says, walking over to my play area.I look up from my Barbie house.
" Ok mommy!" I say, walking to her.
She picks me up, and sits me on her lap.
" So, remember your friend Lilian?"
" Yup! She's my bestest friend ever!"
Mommy sighs, like how she does when she's talking to Grandma on the phone.
Is something wrong? Did I do something bad?
" Well.... Honey- Lilian um.... Lilian is moving somewhere."
" Really? Is it to a new house? She said to me her daddy had a new girlfriend!" I say, smiling.
Mommy's eyes start to fill with tears.
" What's wrong, Mommy?" I say, putting my hand on her face.
" Remember that place that Daddy went to? Heaven?"
I nod.
" Well that's where Lilian is going. She went there 3 days ago."
" Is that why her mommy canceled our playdate?"
" .... Yes honey. B-But don't worry, one day you'll see her again!"
" Ok. Can I go play with my barbies now?" I say, looking at her.
" Yes honey.... You can go play with your toys now."
I smile, and get off of mommy's lap.
