"Sorry, thanks and goodbyes..." i started my speech

"Now is the best day to celebrate! Our hardships are done and we're all going to graduate! Yeah guys we're finally done" i said to the crowd and they all clapped and screamed success

"Okay let me begin. This year and last year had been the hardest year of my life. Once again one of the best ladies of my life had left. First was my mother and now... It's been a year since my heart beated for a girl. And her name is Kaira Mae Johnson. She was my bestfriend, sister and lover. She ment everything to me. She's my inspiration. Yet...now she's free. Free from all the pain she had to bare in this world. My mom and Kaira was the two best woman's that ever came to my life, and I'm very grateful that they came my way and teached me more things. Things that can't be learned through books. They are my inspiration. My light in the dark. And noe that I made my way to the top. That's why I'm standing here and talking in front of you guys. They are my hope... my everything... but as what they said to me move on cause there's way better things to come. And now I'm looking forward for that better things that they said. And I'm hoping you guys would do the same. This is our way to success. This is where the real fight begins. Now let us all stand up and walk our way to success and a better future that was already laid for us. Thank you" I said and bowed they all stood up and a standing ovation was granted onto me. Thanks...

"Son!" Dad shouted as I walk down the stage.

"Dad? You made it "

"Definitely. I wouldn't miss it for the world " he grabbed me into a big hug

"Congratulations son"

"Thanks dad" when the program was done we decided to visit mom at the cemetery.

"Mom. Look at these. I got them all just as promised" i held my deploma and some medals

"I'm sure she's very proud of you son" dad said and patted my back. i just gave him a big smile. We stayed there for hours when we decided to go home. We were walking through the cemetery when I decided to let dad go home first

"Are you sure?"

"Yes dad"

"Okay. But first I'll give you your graduation gift."

"What gift?"

"Your mom and I had planned this while she was still alive." He handed me a key I looked at it and when I realized what that was I looked up at dad and gave him a big and warm hug

"Thanks dad and mom" I looked up to the skies and gave a flying kiss to mom. I hope she had it

"Take care son. And for that car of yours. Bye" he walked away with a big smile on his face. I walked toward her grave and sat down.

"Hey" I touched her tomb stone and lit up a candle

"I did it. I had graduated as the summa cum laude" I felt a cold yet comforting wind wrap around my arms.

"You liked it? Im glad you liked it." I closed my eyes as the thought ran through my head. I tried this before yet I didn't saw her anymore and this time I'm hoping that it would work.

I felt something soft and warm touch my lips. I opened my eyes and therr she was

"Hi" she said. I hugged her immediately. I missed her so much.

"I missed you too" she said

"How did? I tried this before but-but"

"Shhh... I asked Him to give us this last time and look. I have a surprise " she pointed to a lady in white

"Mom?" I whispered to myself. I stood up as I realize that it was really mom.

"Hi baby" she said and hugged me. I hugged her back and tears started to fall from my eyes

"Shhh... my big boys such a cry baby" she said and patted my back. I heard

Kaira laugh a bit. I looked at her she just smiled at me. We spent hours on chatting on different topics. Im so happy that no word can describe what I'm feeling by now.

"I love you mom, Kaira."

"We love you too. And can you tell your dad to get a life and be a man." Mom said and kissed me on the cheek. Kaira walked towards me and held my hands.

"I'll never forget everything Josh. I love you. And I'm giving you a gift from my heart." I felt something small and cold on my hands. She closed my palms and looked up to me. Eye to eye contact

"I'm giving you my blessing to love again. Open your heart for someone out there. Don't hinder yourself to love again. I love you and you love me but it's time to give it to someone that's with you down here. I'll be happier if that will happen." She caressed my cheek and i felt her lips on mine we both closed our eyes... and...

"Goodbye Josh. I love you"

"I love you too"

I opened my eyes and checked at my watch and there it was a silver bracelet and there carved...

Your 25th hour has been granted.

The thought made me smile. Truly, my 25th hour was way beyond what my 24 hours can have. And I'll treasure it forever
