A/N: Happy late Mother's Day.
______________________________________
I travelled to the UK, straight to a cottage in a village outside of London. I walked the sidewalk and entered the yard though a small wooden gate. With me were pieces of large cards which I've drawn something on, and a mini boombox. I set it on the table outside, then hit the play button.

(Violin Intro)

I was a foolish little child,
Crazy things I used to do,
And all the pain I put you through,
Mama now I'm here for you...

For all the times I made you cry...
The days I told you lies,
Now it's time for you to rise,
For all the things you sacrificed...

[Chorus:]
Oh, if I could turn back time rewind,
If I could make it undone,
I swear that I would-
-I would make it up to you

Mum I'm grown up now
It's a brand new day
I'd like to put a smile on your face every day

Mum I'm grown up now
And it's not too late
I'd like to put a smile on your face every day

You know you are the number one for me.. [x3]
Oh, oh, number one for me

You know you are the number one for me.. [x3]
Oh, oh, number one for me

There's no one in this world that can take your place...
Oh, I'm sorry for ever taking you for granted, ooh...
I...will use every chance I get,
To make you smile, whenever I'm around you...
Now I will always love you like you loved me!
Only God knows how much you mean to me...

The resident inside was none other than my beloved mother. She came out on the balcony when she heard me from outside.

[Chorus]
(Waves) Oh, if I could turn back time rewind,
If I could make it undone,
I swear that I would-
-I would make it up to you

(Shows card written: I'm grown up) Mum I'm grown up now,
It's a brand new day...
(Shows card with smiley emoticon) I'd like to put a smile on your face every day...

Mum I'm grown up now...
(Shows card written: Not to late) And it's not too late,
I'd like to put a smile on your face every day...

(Shows card written: #1) ...The number one for me... [x3]

Oh, oh, number one for me...

She went back in, then showed up at the front door seconds later. "My son! You've grown up!" she began.

"I love you, mom..." I expressed.

"I love you too, son..."

We hugged each other tight, until the beeping had woken me up.

I was back in my dark room at the Chateau, jolting up from my bed. I looked around to where the beeping came from which was my clock, with the alarm set to 4.30 am. Then I realized...

All of it was just a dream.

"No, no, no, no!" I panicked, I was enjoying the dream so much I wish I had it again if I fall back asleep. But my knowledge of that wouldn't happen made me do otherwise.

I just wish I could see her again. But alas, I couldn't do anything about her passing.

I was again devastated, curling up and letting the tears stream out for several minutes.
