The five year old sat on the ground twirling the white daisy in his hand. He looked to the skies and bit his lip as tears came to his eyes. Soon, however, a comforting hand lay gently on his shoulder as his mother came and cradled him in her lap.
"Cooper," she said stroking his hair, "what you thinking of."
"Forever." He answered simply.
"What about forever?"
"I want to know if they loved each other forever."
He gently plucked a white petal of the daisy. Forever.
"Your great grand parents loved each other always. They were the rare couple you hear about who were meant to be."
"Do you think Grampa Ryan was sad when she died?" he asked pulling of another petal. Never.
"No, honey, I think he was happy. Happy that things turned out the way they did. They had two wonderful children and they loved each other so much, and then there was nothing else they wanted. They were complete and waiting."
"Waiting for what?" Forever.
"Waiting for the end"
"Was he happy when he got to see her in heaven?" Never.
"I'm sure he was."
"How long was their forever?" Forever.
"What's with all these questions, huh, Coop?" his Mom said smiling, "I think forever is different for everyone. You see they loved each other so much that if their forever ended, they would be happy that they got to love each other, at all."
"Do you think that they are here?" Never.
"I think that there love is. Though they got old, their love was always forever young and that what they want us to know. That things will turn out right and not to worry because in the end, fate will lead you to what you need."
The young child nodded understandingly, and felt a tightening in his heart and he sighed, pulling of the last petal. He held his mother's hand and smiled looking back as he walked away from the heart shaped grave stone. The grass was green and the slight breeze ruffled the petals on the grass and life went on. Forever.
The last chapter… Sorry, I just didn't see this story going anywhere, anymore. Hope you enjoyed!
