Save an Angel's Kiss for Me

After 12-year-old Mar's father unfortunately dies in a car crash during the Christmas holiday, she not only has to recuperate, but also live with her mentally ill mother without the calming presence of her beloved dad. Fast forward three years, because Mar had blocked out her dad's death, she's never really admitted to herself that he's gone forever, let alone acknowledged or visited his gravesite. She suddenly decides to take a 14-hour journey on a Greyhound bus to finally visit her dad's grave and to face the truth that he's really gone. Will Mar finally get the closure she so desperately seeks?

This is a touching short story about grief, loss, acceptance, and forgiveness. It's about the comfort of a gifted Christmas angel. It's about the miracle of healing and unconditional love.
