I opened my eyes and stared at the light in front of me.  I started making faces and just laughed.  I turned my head to one side and saw Roberto, Thomas and Nick.  To the other side, I saw Jules.  I smiled but they couldn�t see me.  �Hey guys!�  They didn�t even look up.  �You guys, smile.�  Then I saw the tears coming from Nick�s eyes.  �Baby, why are you crying.�  He wiped them away and I looked over at Jules.  She was crying as well.  I shook my head and saw the doctor come in. 
�It�s time to put her to rest.�
�What in the world?� I cried out.
�Thanks for letting us see her one last time.�
�You�re welcome Mr. Carter.  I�m sorry the bullet hit her where it did.  I tired to save her, but it was to late.�  I gasped and looked around me. 
�No way!� I yelled out. 
�Breathe in and out, Theresa.�  I turned around and lost my mind.
�You died.�
�Yup, and so did you.�
�No.  I have so much more to do in life.  I couldn�t have died.�
�You did.  You�ll see Nick again.�
�I want to see him now.  Oh God, why did I die?�
�Cause he wanted you to come up here with us.�  I nodded my head and looked over at my mom.
�I missed you mom.�
�I missed you too baby.  Just think you can watch over all of them now.�  I nodded my head and looked back at them.

I glanced at everyone.  They were wearing black and crying.  I felt bad.  If it wasn�t for me, they wouldn�t be here.
�If that was the case, they also wouldn�t love you.�  I felt my mom touch my arm and sighed. 
�Will I go to Heaven?�
�Yes.  In the meantime, you�re here on Earth to watch over Nick and the Boys, and your boys.�
�And just how am I supposed to do that, I�m dead.�
�You�ll find way.�  I smiled and glanced back over at Nick.  I started walking over and just stared.  He looked up to Heaven and I couldn�t help but smile.  I looked down at my hand and figured I would try.  I put my hand on his cheek.  He looked up and I could have swore he saw me.  He covered his cheek and frowned.  I closed my eyes and whispered in his ear. 
�I�m always going to be here, watching you.  Just call my name if you need me.  I will be waiting for you baby.  I love you.�  I kissed his cheek and walked away.

�Dad?�  Nick looked down at his son and picked him up.
�Yes?�
�What are you smiling at?�
�Your mother.  You know she�s watching out for you.  So you guys have to behave, right?�  Thomas just nodded his head but Roberto just stared ahead.
�Dad, did you hear her talking to you?�
�Yeah, I did.�
�I did too.  Mommy is going to be with us.�
�Yup, she�s not going to leave us alone.� 

I smiled at them.  They would pull together and if they needed me, they knew they could find me.  I looked on the past, and the future and just pictured Heaven.  I pictured Angels and all the glory that people wrote it as.  I smiled at myself and just thought about the truth.  �Only The Truth Be Told.�
