I stood on the ledge - rigid. The bitter cold breeze blew my hair in my face as I stared down into the sparkling waves of the sea. I slipped my feet out of my worn down, Nike trainers. Just do it - the Nike slogan - kept swirling around and around in my head. Just do it. Just jump Kate, how hard can it be? just before I was going to jump - an angel apeared before my eyes. It was mum. Tears ran down my frozen red cheeks. Mum, oh Mum. I miss you! I never had the chance to say goodbye. Why did you do it Mum? Why did you go? I knew then what she was trying to tell me. She wanted me to stay.
I went home - still barefoot. Dad asked "what did you do today, Kate?". "Dad I received a sign". " A sign?" " Yeah. From Mum."
He collapsed on a chair and sobbed - just wept in my arms. "Leave it out Dad. Free yourself."
