Novel & Cerita Two Worlds One Family Song

I whisper and he smiles. "I love you too Bumble bee," he says, "you'll always be my little girl." "I'll always be a call away," I tell him as the song starts to end, "I will call you if I ever need anything." "Please do," Dad agrees, "I'd always love to hear your voice." I kiss his cheek as tears continue to fall down my cheeks and he walks me back to my seat. Leon and his mom walk out. His mom chose the song What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong. It was beautiful as Leon hugged his mother tightly who had tears falling down her cheeks. Leon kept talking to his mom as if he was reassuring her and she smiled up at him like she was the proudest mom in the world.

It’s Laura, sitting by another grave, her voice breaking as she sings to someone dearly missed. “…When the world’s not perfect, when the world’s not kind If we have each other, then we’ll both be fine I will be your brother, and I’ll hold your hand You should know I’ll be there for you” The lyrics speak of togetherness and resilience, a balm to my aching soul. I follow the sound, finding myself standing a few meters from Laura. She’s breathing painfully, her voice trembling as she finishes the song.

We made plans to start a family tradition of going on a camping trip every summer. "I want a baby boy," Iris pouted, as I saw her look at Leo. I smiled at her. "I want a baby girl," I said, chuckling. Red took his guitar and started strumming. He just release a new song dedicated to our son, and it was the best thing I ever heard. I am in tears when I heard it for the first time. As Red started playing, we all sat back and listened. His voice filled the room, and his fingers danced across the strings. The song was about how much he loved our son and how grateful he was for him. It was a beautiful tribute to the love that we shared as a family.

The family was together. And for a moment, the world was quiet.

We run together, they're my family When I get up they gon' be high with me I'll say forever my family My family I'll say forever my family My family I'll say forever my family Stolen dreams took our, our childish days Still, ain't nothing changed now we're grown We're still young, still got our mindless ways In a timeless phase, kicking stones When I am blind, in my mind I swear they be my rescue, my lifeline I don't know what I'd do if I, if I'd survive My brothers and my sisters in my life, yeah I know some people, they would die for me We run together, they're my family When I get up they gon' be high with me I'll say forever my family Family I'll say forever my family My family I'll say

Kael watches me chew like he’s adding the data point to a file. “Anything else?” I ask once I swallow. “Any more rules I should tattoo on my forehead?” “One more,” he says. “For now.” “Of course,” I mutter. “Hit me.” His eyes hold mine. “Don’t sing that lullaby for anyone else,” he says. The words land heavier than they should. “It’s my song,” I say, reflexive. “It was my mother’s,” he counters. “Then yours. Then Sofie’s. The world got more of it last night than it ever deserved. Until this is over, it stays here. In this house. In this family.”

I began, "how about we learn a new song today? It's called 'A Million Dreams' from *The Greatest Showman*. It's about thinking big and believing in a bright future." Her eyes widened with excitement. "Yes, Mommy! Teach me!" I took a deep breath and started singing softly: "*I close my eyes and I can see A world that's waiting up for me That I call my own...*" Ava listened intently, her little head moving to the rhythm. I sang each line slowly, and she repeated after me, her sweet voice filling the room. We continued, line by line, until she grew more confident. Soon, we were singing together:

he asked. I just nodded. When we reached the busy road, I heard him start singing along with the radio. 🎵🎶 If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you If the party was over and our time on Earth was through I'd wanna hold you just for a while and die with a smile If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you 🎶 I turned to look at him. He met my gaze while singing the last line.

And in that embrace, with tears of both joy and longing, we found solace—a haven of love in a world that often raced by too quickly. So, there we stood, two souls reunited in a symphony of emotions. The world may have continued to turn, but for that brief moment, time bent to the rhythm of our hearts, reminding us that the bonds of family are unbreakable, and the love between a mother and child is a force that defies all distances and obstacles.
