I wrote this story, when I listen at the song Angels flying.
It is all my imagination. So nothing in this story is true.
I hope you like it. When you don't like fantasy stories, don't read them!


Once, there was a little boy. His name was Joseph Maria, but his family called him Joey. His family was a large family. They were musicians, so Joey was performing with them since he was born. Joey was only 10 years old when his mother died. He was very sad because of that and he wanted to tell someone about it.
Because Joey had a lot of younger sisters and brothers, older ones didn't have any time to talk to Joey about the death of his mother. Only Jimmy was there for him. Jimmy was Joey's best friend. They were always together, but Jimmy was at age when he liked girls, so whenever Jimmy would find a girlfriend, Joey would stay alone because Jimmy wanted to spend time with his girlfriend.

One day Joey was really mad. He has a question and goes to Jimmy. He says:" Jimmy, why is mother gone?" Jimmy looks at Joey and answers:" I don't know. I have to go now. My girlfriend is waiting. Stop worrying about that." That wasn't very nice of Jimmy.
But Joey doesn't give up. He goes to his older brother, John. He asks him the same question, but John is also busy. Maite is too little to go to the bathroom alone so John has to take her.
But Joey still doesn't give up. He goes to Patricia and asks her the same question. But Tricia is also too busy feeding Angelo.
Joey gets really angry now and he runs out of the house. His older sister Kathy sees him and screams after him:" Joey, what's wrong? Come back here." But Joey is crying and he screams back: "Leave me alone!" He runs further and further into the woods. When he got tired of running, he sat under one tree and after a few minutes he fell asleep. Kathy came looking for him and she found him sleeping under the tree. She thought:" What a little angel!" and smiled and carried him home.

Years went by, and little Joey is a grown man now. His family became very famous and Joey is happy. He also likes a lot of sports, so when he's angry he goes running or kickboxing.
But even though Joey is all grown up now, he still has the same questions as he had when he was young.

One nice day, Joey goes to the beach. He sits down and asks quietly:" Why is mother gone?" But after a few seconds he screams:" Why, why, why???? "I can't hold my tears anymore, I can't hold them back. Maybe she'll come back, come back to me." And Joey starts writing a song about that.
And in one moment, out of nowhere, Joey sees a bright light in the ocean. He couldn't believe his eyes, so he closes his eyes and opens them again. And the light is still there. "Joey my dear"- he heard. Joey is amazed. "Mother, where are you?" And in that moment, mother Barbara Ann came out of the ocean. " Oh mother, those beautiful eyes, that beautiful smile, they're still like sugar and honey!" " My dear, you had a question for me,"- she says. " Why did you go mother?"-Joey asks. "I do not have an answer for that, my dear. But I am happy now. I am an angel as you see. And don't worry, as long as you keep doing what you love, everything will be OK. And I know that what you love is singing."-Says mother. " I was wrong, you were right, you ARE an angel!" "Yes, my dear I am. And if you ever have any questions, just come here and scream my name. I will come flying to you."
And before Joey could even answer, she disappeared. Joey closed his eyes again. But when he looked up again, he saw a star on the sky in the middle of the day. He whispered his mother's name and the star shined ever brighter.

That day when Joey came home, he told to his brothers and sisters about his experience. He said:" I saw mother and if you see angels flying, wave good-bye."
