I cried all the way home and to tell you the truth my dad was shedding a few tears too. I felt like my heart was broken and I never wanted to see the outside world ever again. When we got home there was a present in my bedroom. I've been so hurt I forgot that it was my birthday in a month, but why did I get this present now? I opened it and saw in shiny gold letters I'm so sorry for your loss hope this will make you feel better. Inside the box and wrapping paper were two tickets, one for me and one for dad to go to the high school basketball game this week. Not big time NBA tickets but something to get my mom off of my mind. I went into the kitchen and told my dad thanks for the tickets and he said he never bought anything lately. It made my get suspicious very suspicious.

We ate spaghetti that night. It wasn't as good as mom's but anything is fine with me. After dinner I get to bed like my mom always used to say. I think about her all night and the suspicious present sender. Maybe I'll see someone looking funny at me tomorrow at school. I know I'll find whoever it is.
