Fallen

Rose stared into the blinding sun for a whole minute.

"Mama, why do you do that?" her child asked.

"Because, Edward, it reminds me of someone" she said distantly.

"Who?"

"An angel who flew to close to the sun, got burned, and fell to Earth."

" Fallen angel! Mother, don't tell me you believe in angles!"

"Actually, this is the one who taught me to question my faith."

"So where is he now?"

"He's gone, he had to leave."

"To heaven?"

"Something like that…"

"Mother, you look at the sun every day, do you miss him?"

"No, I love him."
