                      My  Mom's  Ghost

          By; Rebecca  '' Sarah'' Daniels

  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.
