NOTE: This series chronicles the wishes Tina writes in the Wish Journal she received from her aunt when she turned 13. To better understand Tina's character, be sure to read her other wishes in chronological order. It was time, Tina could feel it. It was late spring and the window was left open just a bit so that the crickets serenaded her from afar. The last stroke left Tina's right side nearly useless. Even her grandkids couldn't understand her, couldn't have fun and make memories with her. Before Gemma had left that day, Tina asked her to dig out that old Wish Journal and leave it on the table beside the bed, next to the dinner she didn't have an appetite to eat. She grabbed the pencil foreignly with her left hand and then opened to a clean page in the journal. She rested her dead right arm on it as a paper weight, to keep it from closing on her. Shakily, she began to write the final entry in her Wish Journal. Wish #19: I wish a world of luck and happiness upon my daughter, Gemma. My last wish is for my dear Gemma: the child I hoped and prayed for and loved more than my own life. My wish is that she lives a long a fulfilling life, full of good choices, happy memories, and to always find the positive side.
I wish she will live every day knowing I loved her, up until my last breath and beyond. Both her father and I love her very, very much.
