Mom gave birth to me when she was only seventeen years old. An accidental event which was not planned. However, I am still glad to be here as mom decided to keep me and raise me by herself. My name is Melissa and this is my story....Besides being mother and daughter, we were also best friends. Maybe because of our not being too far apart in age. I started working and got a job at sixteen to help my mom pay for our living expenses. We were a team and definitely helped each other out when it was needed. Her name was Marion and we just loved each other to death. She always wore red shoes as long as I could remember. It was just one of her favorite things. On my thirtieth birthday, mom was now forty seven. Still a young woman. However she developed breast cancer which spread to the major organs of her body. Mom passed away two years later as I had lost the love of my life. She was laid to rest in her favorite red shoes. I cried for quite a long time. The house was now mine and I managed to keep up the bills and living expenses by getting a second job. One morning I woke up as her presence was felt all around me. A whisper in my ear told me to look in the kitchen under the table. I did so and found a pair of red shoes sitting there. There was a kiss and my cheek and then a voice said, I'm still with you". Maybe an unexpected tragic event takes place. Then it turns out to be something that is comforting. Case in point a short dramatic love story where bonds are never broken. They are just reaffirmed by her favorite red shoes....
