Where The River Flows

Lexi closed her eyes as she let her feet flow in the river. She could see herself when she was little running through the river, her mom chasing after her. She wished she could sit her with her mom again.She opened her eyes and stared at the river. She could hear her moms laughter and the splashing footsteps of them running. That was her wish, to see her mother again to give her a hug. Lexi loved water but after her mothers accident she wouldnt get as close. Her mother had drowned in this very river. No one knows how, the river has a slow current and isnt very deep but when she was here it was if her mothers presence was there as well. Like a little piece of her was still there. Lexi pulled her feet out and walked through the dirt and dead grass along the side of the river. She looked down at her feet when something caught her eye. It was a gold chain with a heart, she picked it up. She rubbed the dirt off, a name was engraved:Elizabeth White.

That was her mothers name.
