TEARS OF TOMORROW

LATE ONE WINTER TOMMY WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET HE HAD FOR ALL OF HIS 15 YEARS. HE WAS HEADING EAST MINDING HIS OWN BUSINESS. THEN HE SEEN THIS BEAUTIFUL GIRL WALKING HEADING WEST. TOMMY COULD TELL FROM A DISTANCE THIS GIRL WAS HIS AGE AND VERY BEAUTIFUL. AS THEIR PATHS CROSSED THE GIRL SMILED AND WAVED TO THE BOY. TOMMY TRYING TO LOOK TOUGH BOWED OUT HIS CHEST AND WAVED. THE GIRL STARTED TO LAUGH. TOMMY COULD NOT FIGURE WHY THIS GIRL WAS LAUGHING AT HIM. THEN TOMMY KNEW WHY. WHEN HE BOWED OUT HIS CHEST HE FORGOT TO BREATH SO HIS FACE WAS A BRIGHT RED. TOMMY EXHALED WITH A GASP. THE GIRL STOPPED AND SMILED. SHE TOLD TOMMY "YOU DON'T HAVE TO HOLD YOUR BREATH ON MY ACCOUNT." TOMMY WAS TRYING TO THINK OF SOMETHING QUICK TO SAY. SO HE SAID THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MIND." I JUST FIND YOU SO BREATH TAKING." TOMMY THOUGHT TO HIMSELF "DID I JUST SAY THAT OUT LOUD?" THE GIRL WAS FLATTERED ABOUT THE THOUGHT OF THIS BOY FINDING HER BREATH TAKING. THE GIRL TOLD TOMMY HER NAME WAS JENNIFER WARZANIC. TOMMY SAID" NICE TO MEET YOU JENNIFER WARZANIC." TOMMY TOLD THE GIRL HIS NAME WAS TOMMY GREEN AND HE HAS LIVED ON THIS STREET FOR AS LONG AS HE CAN REMEMBER. JENNIFER TOLD HIM THAT HER AND HER FATHER JUST MOVED HERE ABOUT A WEEK AGO. TOMMY WAS EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEWS. HE ASKED HER WHY HE HAS NEVER SEEN AROUND. JENNIFER SIMPLY REPLIED THE HER DAD HOME SCHOOLS HER AND LEFT IT AT THAT. HE WAS JUST GLAD TO BE TALKING TO SUCH A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY. TOMMY ASKED WHERE SHE WAS WALKING TO AND SHE TOLD HIM SHE WAS WALKING UP TO THE LOCAL STORE. HE ASKED IF HE WALK WITH HER, ALTHOUGH HE HAD JUST CAME FROM THERE. SHE SIMPLY NODDED THEN THEY WALKED UP THE STREET TO THE STORE.

  WHEN TOMMY GOT BACK HOME HE HAD TO TELL SOMEBODY ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL GIRL HE HAD MET.
TOMMY WENT INTO HIS DAD'S DEN TO TELL HIS FATHER ABOUT IT. NOBODY WAS THERE. THEN HE WENT INTO THE KITCHEN TO TELL HIS MOTHER. BUT SHE WAS BUSY FIXING DINNER AND FEEDING HIS LITTLE BROTHER. TOMMY DECIDED TO JUST KEEP THE GIRL OF HIS DREAMS TO HIMSELF FOR NOW.

  THE NEXT DAY AT TOMMY RAN UP TO BILLY. BILLY WAS TOMMY'S BEST FRIEND SINCE HE ARRIVED ON THIS STREET. TOMMY STARTED TELLING HIM ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL GIRL HE HAD MET THE DAY BEFORE. BILLY LIVED JUST ONE STREET OVER FROM TOMMY. THESE TWO GUYS DID EVERY THING TOGETHER. TOMMY TOLD HIM HE MET THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD. BILLY JUST LAUGHED AT HIM. TOMMY SAID "WHAT YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME!" BILLY LOOKED AT HIM WITH HIS BRIGHT RED HAIR AND LIGHT GREEN EYES AND SAID "TOMMY YOU THINK EVERY GIRL IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD." THEN BILLY STARTED TO LAUGH. HIS CHUBBY LITTLE CHEEKS BOUNCING. TOMMY JUST SIMPLY TOLD HIM "YOU WATCH THIS GIRL WILL BE MINE ONE DAY." BILLY SLAPPED HIM ON THE BACK AND TOLD HIM KEEP THE FAITH.

  THAT AFTERNOON TOMMY CAME OVER TO BILLY'S HOUSE. "SO TOMMY WHERE IS YOUR LOVE OF YOUR LIFE?" SAID BILLY. "DON'T WORRY SHE LIVES ON THIS STREET, SO I'M SURE WE WILL SEE HER SOON." TOMMY REPLIED. BILLY STARTED TO TEASE TOMMY ABOUT HAVING A GIRLFRIEND AND NOT EVEN KNOWING WHERE SHE LIVES. AFTER A FEW HOURS AND STILL NO JENNIFER BILLY DECIDED HE BETTER GET INSIDE. TOMMY WAS DEPRESSED ABOUT THE FACT THAT SHE NEVER CAME WALKING DOWN THE STREET. THEN AS TOMMY WAS TURNING TO GO INSIDE OUT OF THE COLD A FIGURE CAUGHT HIS EYE. IT WAS JENNIFER WALKING DOWN THE STREET HEADING TOWARD THE STORE. TOMMY RAN UP TO HER AND SAID "HELLO THERE LITTLE LADY." JENNIFER SMILED A BIG SMILE AND SAID " WHAT YOU DON'T FIND ME BREATH TAKING TODAY?" TOMMY QUICKLY BOWED OUT HIS CHEST AND HELD HIS BREATH. JENNIFER STARTED TO LAUGH. HER SMILE COULD LIGHT THE WORLD. TOMMY FELT LIKE NOTHING ELSE MATTERED TO HIM. JENNIFER ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD WALK WITH HER . OF COURSE TOMMY DIDN'T MIND AS LONG AS HE WAS BY HER SIDE HE DIDN'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING. THEY WALKED FOR A LONG WHILE. TOMMY ASKED WHERE HER MOTHER WAS AND WHAT HER FATHER DID FOR A LIVING. JENNIFER'S SMILE SLOWLY DISAPPEARED. TOMMY TRIED TO TELL HER IT WAS OK SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT IF SHE DIDN'T WANT TO. ALL JENNIFER SAID WAS THAT SHE MISSED HER MOTHER DEEPLY. TOMMY ASKED IF SHE HAD PASSED AWAY. SHE TOLD HIM THAT SHE WAS VERY MUCH ALIVE AND LIVED SOMEWHERE ELSE NOW. BUT SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE. TOMMY THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT. THEY WALKED AROUND AND TALKED ABOUT WHAT EVER WOULD COME TO MIND. TOMMY ASKED JENNIFER SHE WOULD LIKE TO WALK TO MEET HIS BEST FRIEND BILLY. JENNIFER SAID SHE BETTER GET BACK BEFORE HER DAD COME LOOKING FOR HER. THEY SAID THEIR GOOD BYES AND WENT THERE OWN WAYS. TOMMY TURNED AROUND WHEN HE GOT TO HIS FRONT DOOR. JENNIFER WAS ALREADY GONE.

  LATER THAT NIGHT THERE WAS A TAP ON TOMMY'S WINDOW. TOMMY JUMPED OUT OF BED FROM A DEAD SLEEP. HE GLANCED AT THE WINDOW AND SEEN JENNIFER STANDING THERE. TOMMY OPENED THE WINDOW SLOWLY. THE BLAST OF COLD AIR CAME RUSHING IN. IT HAD STARTED TO SNOW AGAIN. BIG FAT SNOWFLAKES WHERE FALLING DOWN. "JENNIFER WHAT ARE U DOING OUT HERE?" TOMMY ASKED. SHE TOLD TOMMY SHE FELT LIKE GOING FOR A WALK. TOMMY CLIMBED OUT OF HIS BEDROOM WINDOW AND WALKED TO THE FRONT YARD. TOMMY TOLD HER THAT IF HIS PARENTS WHERE TO FIND OUT HE HAD LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT HE WOULD NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN. JENNIFER WANTED TO WALK TO THE PLAYGROUND AND SIT ON THE SWINGS.

  TOMMY BRUSHED THE SNOW OFF OF THE SWING. IT SEEMED LIKE THE FASTER HE CLEARED THE SNOW, MORE WOULD FALL ON IT. THEY SAT ON THE SWINGS FOR A MOMENT. THEN JENNIFER STARTED TO SPEAK SOFTLY. SHE SAID SHE WAS SORRY FOR GETTING UPSET EARLIER. TOMMY TOLD HER IT WAS OK AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. THEN JENNIFER SAID IN A QUIET VOICE. "MY FATHER AND I LEFT MY MOTHER A LONG TIME AGO." TOMMY WAS NOT SURE HOW TO ANSWER. SHE STARTED TO CRY. TOMMY SLIPPED OFF THE SWING AND WRAPPED HIS ARMS AROUND HER. HE TOLD HER IT WOULD BE ALL RIGHT AND THAT SHE WOULD SEE HER AGAIN SOMEDAY. JENNIFER WIPED THE TEARS FROM HER FACE AND SMILED AT TOMMY. TOMMY THOUGHT HER SMILE COULD LIGHT UP THE NIGHT SKY. JENNIFER TOLD TOMMY SHE BETTER GET BACK AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING. SHE WAS GONE IN THE DARKNESS. TOMMY WALKED BACK TO HIS HOUSE AND CLIMB BACK THROUGH HIS WINDOW.

  THE NEXT MORNING TOMMY TOLD BILLY ABOUT HIS FUN FILLED DAY AND NIGHT. BILLY ASKED TOMMY WHEN DOES HE GET TO MEET THIS MYSTERY GIRL HE KEEPS HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT. BILLY TOLD TOMMY TO STAY THE NIGHT WITH HIM TONIGHT SINCE IT WAS FRIDAY. TOMMY AGREED. ALL DAY TOMMY KEPT THINKING OF JENNIFER.
  BILLY AND TOMMY WALKED TO BILLY'S HOUSE TO ASK IF HE COULD STAY THE NIGHT. BILLY RAN INSIDE HIS HOUSE. TOMMY WAS WAITING ON THE SIDEWALK FOR BILLY TO COME OUT. A FIGURE CAUGHT HIS EYE. IT WAS JENNIFER WALKING DOWN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. TOMMY YELLED FOR HER TO COME OVER. THEN THERE WAS A LOUD SLAM COME FROM BEHIND HIM. TOMMY TURNED AROUND REAL QUICK. IT WAS BILLY STUMBLING OUT THE DOOR WITH HIS SLEEPING BAG IN HAND. BILLY TOLD TOMMY THAT HIS MOM SAID THAT THEY COULD CAMP OUT IN HIS BACKYARD TONIGHT. TOMMY SAID THAT'S GREAT AND HERE IS JENNIFER. TOMMY THEN TURNED AROUND BUT SHE WAS GONE. "WELL I GUESS SHE KEPT WALKING." TOMMY SAID IN A DISAPPOINTED VOICE. OH WELL BILLY SAID LETS GO SET UP MY TENT IN THE BACKYARD.

  AFTER SETTING UP THE TENT THEY BOTH WENT OUT FRONT TO SEE IF JENNIFER WAS AROUND. SHE WAS NO WHERE TO BE SEEN. BILLY TOLD TOMMY IT WAS OK THAT HE WILL MEET HER WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT. TOMMY JUST SHOOK HIS HEAD IN AGREEMENT. LATER THAT NIGHT THE TWO BOYS WERE SITTING IN THE TENT TELLING GHOST STORIES. AFTER A FEW HOURS THE BOYS TURNED OFF THE FLASHLIGHTS AND CRAWLED INTO THEIR SLEEPING BAGS. AS TOMMY DRIFTED INTO A DEEP SLEEP THE SOUND OF HIS NAME BEING WHISPERED AWOKE HIM. TOMMY OPENED HIS EYES. HE COULD SEE SOMEONE MOVING OUTSIDE THE TENT. TOMMY CRAWLED OUT OF HIS SLEEPING BAG AND SLIPPED ON HIS SHOES. THE AIR WAS BITTERLY COLD. TOMMY TRIED TO WAKE BILLY. ALL BILLY WOULD DO IS ROLL AROUND AND TELL HIS MOTHER HE IS NOT READY FOR SCHOOL YET. THERE IS WAS AGAIN. SOMEBODY WAS WHISPERING TOMMY'S NAME. TOMMY UNZIPPED THE TENT SLOWLY. THEN HE PEAKED HIS HEAD OUT. JENNIFER POPPED HER HEAD AROUND THE TENT AND YELLED "BOO!" TOMMY JUMPED IN THE AIR WITH A SHRIEK. JENNIFER WALED AROUND TO THE FRONT OF THE TENT. TOMMY WAS LAUGHING. HE WAS LAUGHING TO KEEP FROM SHOWING HOW SCARED HE WAS. JENNIFER LOOKED AT TOMMY WITH HER BEAUTIFUL BLUE GREEN EYES. TOMMY STILL THOUGHT HER SMILE COULD LIGHT UP THE NIGHT SKY. JENNIFER LOOKED AT TOMMY AND SAID "COME DANCE WITH ME." TOMMY COULD TELL HE WAS GIVING HER A STRANGE LOOK. BUT WITH OUT A SECOND THOUGHT HE CRAWLED OUT OF THE TENT. TOMMY LOOKED AT JENNIFER AND ASKED IF HE COULD WAKE HIS FRIEND FOR HER TO MEET. JENNIFER JUST SMILED AND TOLD HIM SHE WAS NOT HERE TO DANCE WITH HIS FRIEND JUST HIM. TOMMY FELT LIKE THE KING OF THE WORLD. THEY DANCED IN THE PALE MOONLIGHT UNTIL THE SUN STARTED TO RISE. JENNIFER GAVE TOMMY A QUICK PECK ON THE CHEEK AND SAID SHE HAD TO GO BACK NOW. TOMMY QUICKLY ASKED HER WHERE SHE LIVES TO WHERE HE COULD COME VISIT. JENNIFER JUST TOLD HIM IN DUE TIME MY LOVE, IN DUE TIME. THEN SHE WAS GONE FROM THE BACKYARD. TOMMY WENT BACK INTO THE TENT TO LAY BACK DOWN. HIS HEART POUNDING WITH EXCITEMENT. THERE WAS NO WAY HE COULD SLEEP NOW.

  AFTER TAKING DOWN TENT THE GUYS WENT TO WALK TO THE LOCAL STORE FOR SOME BREAKFAST TACOS. TOMMY DIDN'T EVEN TELL BILLY ABOUT HIS VISIT WITH JENNIFER. BILLY DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE HEARD ANY OF IT ANYWAY. WHEN THE BOYS WALKED INTO THE STORE THEY COULD SEE OLD MAN WALTER SITTING BEHIND THE COUNTER. THIS MAN WAS SO OLD THE BOYS ALWAYS JOKED ABOUT HOW THEY BUILT THE STORE AROUND HIM. BILLY WENT STRAIGHT TO THE TACO CASE. TOMMY SPENT MOST OF HIS TIME JUST WALKING AROUND LOOKING. BILLY SAID THAT HE GOT THE TACOS AND WAS READY TO GO. THE TWO BOYS WALKED OUT THE FRONT DOOR.
  WALKING BACK TO BILLY'S HOUSE WAS A QUIET TRIP.BILLY THEN ASKED TOMMY IF HE STILL WANTED TO CAMP IN HIS BACKYARD TONIGHT. TOMMY JUST LOOKED AT HIM AND TOLD HIM HE DIDN'T FEEL UP TO IT. BILLY TOLD HIM ITS OK THERE WILL BE OTHER TIMES.

  TOMMY WALKED BILLY HOME. THEN JUST SPENT THE REST OF THE DAY IN HIS ROOM. ALL HE COULD THINK ABOUT WAS JENNIFER. HE WONDERED WHAT SHE WAS DOING RIGHT NOW. IF SHE WAS THINKING OF HIM. TOMMY WAS LAYING ON HIS BED JUST LOOKING AT THE BUMPS ON HIS WALLS. HE COULD FEEL HIMSELF DRIFTING IN AND OUT. HE THOUGHT TO HIMSELF THAT HE STAYED UP TOO LATE WITH JENNIFER. TOMMY'S EYES OPENED. THE SOUND OF TAPPING ON THE GLASS HAD WOKE HIM AGAIN. JENNIFER WAS STANDING OUTSIDE HIS WINDOW. TOMMY OPENED IT SLOWLY. JENIFER TOLD HIM TO MEET HER OUT FRONT. TOMMY CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND HEAD TO THE FRONT YARD. THERE WAS JENNIFER DANCE ON THE SIDEWALK IN THE PALE MOONLIGHT. TOMMY WALKED SLOWLY UP TO HER. JENNIFER STOPPED AND TURNED TO HIM. I'M AM READY TO SHOW YOU WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. TOMMY HELD HER HAND AS THEY WALED DOWN THE SIDEWALK.

  TOMMY AND JENIFER WALKED UP THE STREET AND PASSED THE LOCAL STORE. THEY WALED TO THE END OF A LITTLE DIRT ROAD THAT LEADS TO A CLUSTER OF TREES. TOMMY TOLD JENNIFER THAT HIM AND BILLY NEVER HAD WALED DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE. JENNIFER TOLD HIM NOT TO MANY PEOPLE DO. WHEN THE REACHED THE TREE LINE. JENNIFER WALKED ON THROUGH. TOMMY PAUSED FOR A SECOND. THEN JENNIFER'S HAND POKED BACK OUT FROM THE TREES." DON'T BE AFRAID MY LOVE YOU WILL BE OK." JENNIFER WHISPERED. TOMMY TOOK HER HAND AND FOLLOWED HER THROUGH THE THICK TREES.

  TOMMY FOUND HIMSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIELD OF TALL GRASS. JENNIFER WAS LEADING HIM SOME WHERE. TOMMY DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE COULD BE GOING. EVEN WITH THE PLACE VERY DARK HE COULD TELL THERE WERE NO HOUSES OUT HERE. TOMMY ASKED JENNIFER IN A FRIGHTEN VOICE. "WHERE ARE WE GOING JEN?" JENNIFER TURNED BACK TO HIM AND SMILED. STILL LEADING THEM INTO THE UNKNOWN. FINALLY THEY STOPPED. JENNIFER TOLD TOMMY THEY HAD ARRIVED. TOMMY COULD NOT HELP BUT TO FEEL SCARED. HE ASKED JUST WHERE WERE THEY. SHE TOLD HIM THEY ARE HOME. JENNIFER MOVED SOME TALL GRASS. TOMMY COULD NOT BELIEVE HIS EYES. THERE WAS A SMALL HEAD STONE. ON THIS HEAD STONE READ THE WORDS JENNIFER WARZANIC. TOMMY FELL BACK TO THE GROUND. HIS HEART POUNDING. HIS HEART FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO JUMP FROM HIS CHEST. JENNIFER JUST SMILED. SHE REACHED OUT HER HAND. TOMMY DIDN'T KNOW IF HE SHOULD RUN OR TAKE HER HAND.
JENNIFER TOLD HIM ITS OK YOU WILL BE FINE. TOMMY GOT BACK UP ON HIS KNEES. HE ASKED HER WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON. SHE SMILED AND SAID LOOK MY LOVE. SHE MOVED ANOTHER SMALL CLUMP OF GRASS. THERE WAS ANOTHER HEAD STONE. THE WORDS ON THIS ONE READ. TOMMY GREEN. TOMMY LET OUT A HORRIBLE CRY." WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE, I WANT TO KNOW RIGHT NOW!" JENNIFER PULLED TOMMY UP TO HIS FEET. SHE WRAPPED HER ARMS AROUND TOMMY. SHE LEANED TO WHISPER IN HIS EAR. "REMEMBER" SHE SAID SOFTLY. JENNIFER KISSED HIS EARLOBE SOFTLY. TOMMY COULD FEEL STATIC SHOOT THROUGH HIS BODY.

  TOMMY SHUT HIS EYES TIGHTLY. WHEN THE PAIN WAS GONE HE OPENED HIS EYES SLOWLY. THEY WERE STANDING IN THE SAME FIELD. THIS TIME IT WAS DIFFERENT. THE TWO HEAD STONES WITH THEIR NAMES ON IT WAS GONE. THE FIELD WAS NICELY KEPT. JENNIFER STILL HOLDING TOMMY'S HAND. TOMMY ASKED SOFTLY "WHERE ARE WE JENNIFER?" JENNIFER ASKED HIM IF HE REMEMBERS. TOMMY CLOSED HIS EYES. PICTURES OF THE PAST SEEM TO FLOOD HIS MIND. HE COULD SEE JENNIFER DANCING AROUND IN THE MOONLIGHT. AND HE WAS THERE TOO. THEY BOTH WERE DANCING. THEN THEY PAUSED. THEY COULD HEAR SHOUTING COMING FROM THE DISTANCE. THE YELLING WAS COMING CLOSER. THE SOUND WAS ALMOST DEAFENING. THEN THEY COULD SEE A FIGURE STANDING IN FRONT OF THEM. IT WAS JENNIFER'S FATHER. HE WAS VERY DRUNK. HE WAS HOLDING A RIFLE TO HIS SIDE. 'TOMMY!" HE SAID IN AN ANGRY VOICE. "I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM MY LITTLE GIRL!" JENNIFER'S FATHER POINTED THE RIFLE AT TOMMY. JENNIFER JUMPED IN FRONT OF TOMMY. THE RIFLE FIRED WITHOUT NOTICE. THE BULLET STRUCK JENNIFER IN THE CHEST. TOMMY COULD FEEL THE WARM BLOOD ON HIS FACE. THEN HE FELT A SHARP PAIN IN HIS CHEST. THE BULLET WENT THROUGH JENNIFER AND LODGED IN TOMMY'S HEART. THEY BOTH FELL TO THE GROUND. JENNIFER'S FATHER COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT HE HAD JUST DONE. HE PUT THE GUN INTO HIS MOUTH AND WITH THAT FINAL RING OF THE RIFLE. TOMMY OPENED HIS EYES.

  THEY BOTH WERE SITTING ON THE GROUND IN THE OLD RUN DOWN CEMETERY. TOMMY LOOKED AT JENNIFER. SHE SMILED AT HIM AND SAID. "YOU REMEMBER." TOMMY SMILED BACK AND NODDED. HE MOVED THE GRASS THE REST OF THE WAY FROM THE HEAD STONES. JENNIFER'S HEAD STONE READ "JENNIFER WARZANIC 1975-1990 TODAY WE ARE FILLED WITH PAIN AND SORROW BUT FOR ME DO NOT SHED TEARS OF TOMORROW." TOMMY'S HEAD STONE READ "TOMMY GREEN 1975-1990 LOVED IN LIFE NOW CHERISHED IN DEATH. TOMMY LOOKED AT JENNIFER. HE ASKED IF HE IS DEAD DOES THAT MAKE BILLY DEAD TOO. JENNIFER SMILED AT HIM AND TOLD HIM NO HE IS NOT DEAD AT ALL. TOMMY ASKED HOW COME BILLY COULD SEE HIM AND HANG OUT WITH HIM. JENNIFER REPLIED "ALL YOU ARE TO BILLY IS AN IMAGINARY FRIEND. BILLY WILL COME TO TERMS WITH THAT ON HIS OWN. HE HAS A KINDRED SPIRIT. HE WILL MEET ALLOT OF US IN HIS LIFE." TOMMY LOOKED DEEP INTO JENNIFER'S EYES. HE ASKED WHAT ARE THEY TO DO NOW. JENNIFER TOLD HIM THEY CAN NOW CROSS OVER SINCE SHE HAS FOUND HER LOVE. THEY STOOD UP AND FROM THE NIGHT SKY CAME DOWN A BRILLIANT LIGHT. JENNIFER GRABBED TOMMY'S HAND "READY MY LOVE" JENNIFER SAID IN A SOFT VOICE. "I WILL FOLLOW YOU ANYWHERE MY LITTLE LADY" TOMMY SAID THEN WITH A BRIGHT FLASH THEY WERE BOTH GONE.... SO REMEMBER IF TODAY YOU ARE FILLED WITH PAIN AND SORROW DON'T SHED TEARS OF TOMORROW...
