Let It Go

“Mommy!” I heard a little boy’s voice calling me.

I looked around. Where are we? I was sitting down in a beautiful meadow.

“Mommy!” the little boy called me again.

I looked around again. I could see no one. Where is the little boy?

“Mommy, I’m here!” I heard his voice again.

I kept looking around, but I couldn’t see him.

“Look closer, Mommy!” the little boy called out to me again.

There! He was standing a few steps away from me. He was wearing all white, a white shirt and long white pants. Rai?

I stood up and went to him, but before I could reach him, he ran away from me, laughing.

I ran after him, but I couldn’t reach him. I was scared. Why couldn’t I reach him? The more I ran toward him, the further away he ran.

“Rai! Why are you running away from mommy?” I called out to him, asking him.

He just kept running away from me, laughing freely at the same time.
