A Dark Day
I've been doing a little fishing lately, I slag Gabbie of all the time for her 'boring' hobby when she quietly pointed out to me that in fact I have never done it so I can't really pick on her about it.
It was quite fun (although, I'll never admit this to Gabbie!) I caught a 'Pomegranate' I am a bit of a green thumb so I went home and planted it. Mum is into gardening to so I told her about fishing and how it isn't just about fish, she told me of this glade that Gabbie once told her about and how she thought she would go and visit the mysterious tree ... I think she is Crazy.
Anyway she came home and said she had a vision that the 'end was near' for her, Honestly I thought she had lost the plot. She went to work the next day, came home and this happened
I was in such a state, I had mocked her ... and now the reaper was here
Augustus wailed to the Grim reaper, he bagged for mum's life to be spared, even if it was just to give us all chance to hug each other once more.
Grim scratched his head and had a good think, He muttered something under his breath about friends and them ...
He restored her life! He told us that it wasn't because the child had pleaded, it was more to do with the fact mum and he were pretty tight (his words, not mine) We all had a hug, mum went to bed and told me that she was going to eat burgers tomorrow as she has spent her life being so health conscious that she has forgot sometimes to have a bit of fun, and be more frivolous.
She came home later that evening, did a bit of gardening and decided that it was time, she said that she had lived long enough it was her time to rest with dad.
She died on the Lawn, in front of all the kids (great idea mum, you really know how to make a scene!)
Esmeralda was distraught she tried pleading but Grim said 'No, don't be cheeky' and just like that it was over ...
It was a Dark day, no more mum. We are going to have a family cemetery built on our land, and I'm sure mum and dad will both check in on us from time to time. It is my duty to finish what mum started - our family will thrive - I had a chat with Esmeralda about the importance of the family bloodline. She is only young but I know deep down that she knows what to do.
