Love Never Dies

My name is Edith. I was born January 3, 1912. My parents went down with the Titanic on that fateful night that scarred our hearts forever. My mother was to stubborn to leave my father so she wrapped me up in a blanket and inside that blanket was a diary. Inside the diary were photos of my parents and me, and journal entries of my mother, and an address of her sister in Chicago.

I went to live with my Aunt Anna in Chicago. I soon called my Aunt Anna mom. She never let me forget my real parents though and out of respect or pure love, I always carried my mothers journal around with me. I would often look at myself in the mirror and decide who I looked like more, my mother or my father. It was my mother, of course and I'd giggle.

One day I was sitting in the sitting room listening to Duke Ellington on the radio and I heard my name being called. I asked my aunt Anna and she said no daring. I was perplexed. I ran to my room. On my bed my diary was flipping it's pages madly and as I stared at it in amazement, I looked in the mirror and I saw my mother smiling kindly at me. I was scared to death! I ran to my Aunt Anna's arms. She told me not to be afraid of the supernatural and especially do not be afraid of my mother, she loves me! She would never harm me! She then came into my room.

The diary stooped flipping. I gained my courage and picked up the diary. I had my doubts, but I reasoned them out. I looked into my mirror and saw my mother again smiling at me. She told me many things. Things of the future. The St Valentines Day Mass and The Stock Market Crash. But she told me of fun things too, like about yummy 7-up and the Oscars and Popeye.

Then one day she was sad and I wondered why. She told me dear dear Edith, Diptheria. That was all she said and she was silent for a few days. I felt fine, so I thought, hmmm Aunt Anna? A few days later I started to feel really run down. I had a sore throat, chills and a high fever. I fell into nothingness. I briefly saw Aunt Anna and a doctor and I heard him say she's not going to make it. OMG then I knew what my momma was saying. It was ME!!! I wanted my diary!! I looked through the tender pages and I looked at the photos and I felt myself fading. The next thing I knew I felt golden sunshine and I was in the arms of my mother.
