Odesse was sitting outside on a hill, gazing at the bright moon and smiling, when she suddenly heard a voice say, "Odesse, my dear." She turned and saw her mother and her younger self. Odesse's eyes widened in shock, and she stood up. As she did, everything transformed into a bedroom. Odesse found her younger self on the bed while her mom sat beside her.
"Odesse, my darling," her mom said gently.
"Yes, Mama," little Odesse replied. Odesse walked closer to get a better look at her mom and her younger self, still in disbelief.
Her mom said, "Odesse, I want you to always remember that your dad and I love you no matter what happens. We will love you for eternity."
Little Odesse responded, "I know you both will, Mama. That's why you both won't ever leave me." Tears began to run down Odesse's cheeks as she listened. Her mom looked down and then back at little Odesse, saying, "Yes, of course, my darling, we won't leave you."
