STORY STARTER
Write about an important event in your life from the perspective of someone close to you.
Really try to think about how and why someone else would relate to this event, don't just write about your own experience. It could be a fictional event if preferred.
Gone But Always Close By
My brilliant baby learning to change the world. I hug you with the gentle embrace of the wind.
I hope you feel the blanket of my love as you smile and walk across that stage or secure that job.
My courageous child always fighting to move forward. I nourish you with the warm comfort of lemon peppermint tea when you are sick. I hope the recipe I taught you years ago feels as soothing as when I would rub your back to help you sleep.
My imaginative, daydreaming daughter who sometimes needs help being in the present. I protect you with the bug that lands on you at just the right/wrong time. Alerting you to pay attention in this moment. I hope you know that fear is not the intention.
My powerful, precious person who doubts herself sometimes. I hope you know I’ve always been so proud. Even though my physical support has been gone for some time. I live on through the beauty you bring to this world. I will watch your journey with love and joy until we are together again.
