Christmas Day Dreamsby
TCGuruComment by K3Master: They never did figure out how she was able to do it, hovering there in mid-air, like some mini version of SuperGirl or something. Not that she had ever shown the ability to actually
fly, no, that would have just elevated her to the level of freakish.
Yet for as much as she would do this trick of hers (while watching TV, or reading a book, or to delight friends on the playground), it always caused her mother's heart to leap into her throat when she rounded and corner to come face to face with her floating daughter.
In later years, when she made a fortune from her ability and was able to keep her mother, suffering from Alzheimer's, in the best medical care, it was often only this ability that her mother would remember, and every time she used it her mother would laugh like a child again. She may not remember her name, or how to control her bladder, but she would laugh every time. Right until the end.
She wiped a tear and closed the album and smiled, and then slowly lowered herself to the floor.
