Dandelion wishes

Yesterday we dropped off flowers at the cemetary after church. Right before we were leaving, I noticed Riley was on the bench and looking down being very quiet...
Me: Riley honey, are you ready to go?
Riley: Not yet.
Me: Are you telling Mimi something?
Riley: No, I'm just making a wish on this dandelion. See, I blew them all off.
Me: What did you wish for?
Riley: I just want Mimi to come back alive and live here with us again.
Me: (instant tears)...

WOW!! Tears instantly for me to. I know exactly how you feel. I lost my mom to cancer almost 13 years ago and my dad 13 mos. later. It sucks!! Hugs and prayers for you!
