Putting up the Halloween 's decoration during Halloween Day is one of our family tradition.Mom always made a Traditional Halloween decoration with my three sisters and of course with me , the baby one among of my three sisters.One year as I walked into our front yard, I wasn't sure I was up to the task. Mom was in the hospital, critically ill. We knew she'd celebrated her last Halloween with us. How could I celebrate Halloween ? How would I ever go on without her in my life ?
''Let's get started on '' Halloween's decorating '', my sister said. Reluctantly, I got out all the different decorations and me and my sisters started decorating our front yard.One of my favorite in Halloween's decoration is the one we put under the orange tree; it's an '' R.I.P.'' signs with the words engrave with it just like this'' Died Attacks By the Chipmunks''. It's read sound funny and freaky,I've made it by myself.Maybe a little music would lift my spirits.I flipped on the radio.
'' Here's a special request going out to Sarah from her mom ,'' the announcer said. I caught my breath . The song played;'' Blowin' In The Wind '', I knew that song by Bob Dylan. Hoping my mom getting better at the hospital . But there were other Sarah's in the world, of course,not just me.But somehow I felt comforted and tried to imagine that the lyrics might be true. Surely mom would want her three daughters to continue her Halloween's decorating tradition. These Halloween's decorating '' will be our best yet,'' I declared. After the days we've finished our Halloween decoration,my mom past away. My mom died in '' Halloween Day'', October 31st,2008, last year.
The next song was '' Barbara Ann ''. That's when I knew , I'd get along. Through Halloween and the hard days to com. My mom ghost or spirit was with me,always. You see ,her name was Barbara Ann.
This short story is wholeheartedly written in loving memory of my beloved mom. Whatever my mom's legacy, I'll do to continue doing it all included her holidays's traditions.And I knew every '' Halloween Day'', my mom ghost is always with me.
