LYING IN BED, Anne was looking at her beautiful twins, Rosie and Chloe. She had been ill for many months and she knew the end would be coming Soon. The whole family were feeling upset and felt the strain, particularly, Maxi who had to care for them all. The calm room was peaceful apart from the sound of giraffes nibbling the trees and the grasshoppers scratching amongst thegreenery. Anne felt that she needed to say her goodbyes to her family. “I have got you a gift so that you will always remember me and I also want you to know that wherever I am, I will always be looking out for you and you will be in my heart forever.” Anne asked Maxi to reach for a glittery floral box from under the bed. Maxi passed it to the girls as their eyes filled with tears.

The girls slowly opened the box and it was filled with all their mother’s Jewellery, pictures of the family and other special treasures.“Oh Mum,” gasped Rosie, “this is beautiful. Thank you Mum but my only wish is that you could stay here with us.”“Come on girls, we need to give your Mum some rest,” whispered Maxi as tears streamed down his worn out face.“I love you all,” gasped Anne as she closed her eyes for the final time. Maxi, Rosie and Chloe held their mother’s hand for a few more minutes as Anne’s spirit ebbed out of the open window into the wilderness of the African landscape. Silence filled the room.

Looking in the precious memory box, the following day, Chloe counted the pictures. After a while, Chloe wandered into the kitchen to get a drink. When she returned to her room, She squinted at the pictures and noticed that there was one missing – the one where the family relaxing outside their home in the sun.
