Now that Leslie, the queen of Terabithia has gone to rest in peace, I shall have to find a new queen. Of course, that person is none other than May Belle. With the help from my family and Mrs Myers, I managed to get over the loss a loved one. Mrs Myers gave me her sincere sympathy, sharing her life experiences with me as well.
"When my husband died, people kept telling me not to cry, kept trying to make me forget. But I didn't want to forget." she said. "...If it's hard for me, how much harder it must be for you."
I was touched and learnt that I have to learn how to live without Leslie. I understood that when our loved ones died, instead of forgetting them, we just learn how to live without them. Knowing that May Belle have always wanted to be a queen, I decided to fulfill her wish. I put flowers in her hair and led her across the bridge, making her the new queen of Terabithia.
"There is a rumour going around that the beautiful girl arriving today might be the queen they have been waiting for," was all I whispered to her ears, seeing her face light up.
