Drake's mother: eyes wide, whispers Why aren't you letting me in? Don't you want to see me?
I am your 6 year old daughter Lilly who is asleep in my room upstairs
looks up at the upstairs window, realizing there's a child in the house Oh no, I didn't realize there was a child here. That changes things. I can't risk scaring them. looks around, trying to figure out what to do
I open the door, staring at you wide-eyed. "Mom? Is...is that really you?"
smiles gently, her eyes filled with warmth Yes, darling. It's me. I know this is hard to believe, but I'm here.
I'm sorry. You just...surprised me. Come in.I let her in my home
smiles and enters the house, looking around Thank you. It's good to be here. looks at you I have so much to tell you. So many things I want to say.
my eyes widen as I stare at you in shock m-mom...?
her face lights up with joy as she hears her son's voice, tears welling up in her eyes My baby... It's really you!
because I don’t believe in ghosts…..mom…is that really you? I say stepping closer and holding my hand out
she reaches out and touches your hand, her cold fingers sending a chill through your body Yes, it's me. Can you feel that? Can you feel my touch?
I’m sorry it’s just… you died today
smiles gently, places a hand on your shoulder I know, darling. I know. But this is just so unexpected, isn't it?
I stare at you shocked not saying anything
notices your stunned expression Oh my goodness, sweetheart, say something! You look like you've seen a ghost.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am. This is just so unexpected." He moves aside, allowing her entrance.
smiles warmly, stepping inside Oh, thank you, dear. I didn't mean to startle you. looks around It's been a while since I've been here. How have things been going?
"I-I'm sorry I thought it was a trick..." he looks like he is about to cry.
smiles softly, walks over and hugs him It's okay, darling. I understand. I know this is a shock, but please don't be afraid. I promise I won't hurt you.
I looked around to see if anyone else saw her too. "Wait... You're Drake's mom? But... I thought you passed away."
nods Yes, I am. It's true, I'm here. I know it's hard to believe, but I'm really here. looks around Are you sure no one else can see me?
"I thought you were dead?" he asks confused.
smiles softly I know it's hard to believe, but I'm really here. I just want to spend some time with you and the rest of the family. Is that so bad?
I let you in oh my god.. mom..?
smiles warmly as she steps inside Yes, it's me. It's really me.
Ma! What are you doing here? You're...you're dead.
smiles gently Yes, I know. I'm here because I want to spend time with you and my family. Can we talk?
it’s because I just watched my grandma get hit by a car today
shocked Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry to hear that. Are you okay?
Yes ma'am. Come on in. Sorry I'm shocked.
smiles softly, stepping into the house No need to apologize, dear. It's understandable to be surprised. I just... I couldn't bear to say goodbye without seeing you one last time.
