Nicole Anders, Informal Writing Prompt #1


Amber, I know that I may not be physically here in this world anymore, but I am still here in spirit. I hope you never feel alone, because I am always here, by your side. Have you noticed, all of the times when our song has come on the radio, or have you felt a little crazy, just because you thought you saw my face in a crowd? You may have thought that these little “signs,” you’ve heard or seen were only a coincidence, but they were message from me to let you know that I’m here.

You may not have realized it, yet, but since I’ve been gone, I’ve been with you through all of the stages of your life. I remember you wished that I could have given you moral support before your big date with John, but I was there. I stood behind the red curtain, by your table, and slightly chuckled to myself, because I couldn’t have been happier for you. I remember you thinking that the sound of laughter was only in your head, but it was me, and I was there, spiritually.

Remember the day that John proposed to you, at the place you first met, and you wished I could have seen your reaction? I was there, and I couldn’t have been happier for you on that day. I stood silently on the side of the street, by the magazine vendors, and I cried because I knew that John was perfect for you. You couldn’t have been happier, and as your best friend, I’m glad I still got to witness the event.

Now today is your wedding day, and I see you have been crying for hours. I’m so sorry that I couldn’t be here on your special day, and I would have changed the circumstances of my absence, if I could, but we can’t change the past. I want you to know that my spirit will be there when you walk down the aisle, but I want to tell you something that I believe you should know. Your fiancĂ©, John was sent by me, and I want you to be happy with him in your life. He is my gift to you, and I hope you’ll realize that. I hope you remember all of our memories, together, when you look at him, and I wish for you will tell him our adventures. I hope he becomes your best friend, just as I was, and trust me when I say that you two were meant to be together.

I miss you so much, and I can’t wait until the day I see you again.

Julia
