"I wish to visit the Leaning
Tower," Lini said dreamily.
Her mother nodded understandingly.
Lini had won a trip to visit
Italy.
But, her happiness didn’t last
as she met with the accident.
The recovery process meant that
she would miss the trip.

Her mother knew how Lini felt.
The next day, Lini woke up to a
surprise!
The Leaning Tower was right there
in her room!
Her mother had installed a
home-theatre system.
It projected a true-to-life image
on the wall in front of her!
There was a blank canvas with colours
too!

Isn't virtual reality amazing? Science makes this possible.
Good for painting, but still not the same as being there and taking in the atmosphere! Hopefully she gets to go once recovered :-)
ReplyDeletePerhaps the mother could also supply pasta dishes and Tuscan wine
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gesture from her mother.
ReplyDeleteDid the mother arranged for pizza while the daughter was painting the leaning tower of Pisa?
ReplyDeleteAw, what a thoughtful mama :)
ReplyDeleteAnd then, some day, maybe for real. But for now.... Well told and comforting story.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a good mom!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, a mother can truly make anything happen
ReplyDeleteMom's always want to heal and keep their children from disappointmenting pain.
ReplyDeleteSweet mom ...

Awwwwww, Lini's mom adores her daughter and it shows so poignantly here. It is a story they will remember and share for a long time and hopefully a painting to honor the memory will also arise.
ReplyDeleteGreat story Anita, and very credible. I am familiar with this tragedy. Our son was booked on a history tour of Europe with his school in 2020 which was cancelled due to covid. We live in Sydney, Australia so the trip was a huge deal and a real stretch for us financially. We could do much to get around it at the time, but he is going sailing on a tall ship in a few weeks and I'm just praying nothing goes wrong there. I find it so hard to plan ahead with covid still being around.
ReplyDeletewhat a kind and loving gesture. the real thing is something to look forward to. :)
ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thing for a mother to do for her daughter.
Shalom,
Rochelle
That's lovely. And maybe that's just a taster and she can still visit when she's better :-)
