MY STORY THUS FAR:

Sunshine MacGillicutty was down at the lake on her farm, reminicing about her parents, both deceased. She ventured into deep water to retrieve her hat and got caught in a current. Her mother and father's spirits appear to her and rescue her.
This link will explain the story in it's entirity up to this point:

AND NOW THE CONCLUSION:

"There Is A Voice In The Wind"

Sunshine felt her mother's arms around her.
Sunshine:"Are you taking me to the light? Daddy's waiting for me, mom."
Her mother smiled....."I am taking you back to your life. You have wonderful things yet to be experienced, Sunny.
It's time you returned."
Sunshine:" Mommy!! Don't leave me. PLEASE!"
Mommy:"We'll be together in the wink of an eye."

Sunshine's spirit has rushed back into her body. Gone was the feeling of euphoria. In it's place, total exhaustion and a desperation to reach land! She heard a voice which seemed very far off. It grew stronger and stronger.........."Sunshine!!!
Hold on, baby! I'm coming!!" It was the voice of U.S.Marshal Matt Dillon. It was the voice of her love. He dove in and swam out to her:

Sunshine felt arms around her. Was it her mother? Her father? Were they taking her to that (1) Stairway to Heaven?

Matt spoke to her as he gasped for air:"You're okay now, Sunshine. I've got you."
Sunshine:"Mom? Mommy?" She finally gained her sense of awareness.
Matt:" It's me, baby.....Matt. I've got you."
Sunshine heard a distant voice as she looked around her....
"We'll be together again in the wink of an eye."
Matt:"Did you hear THAT?!"
Sunshine smiled. ......"I'll explain it all to you,Matt."

Once on shore , they lay on the grassy beach.
Matt:"Please tell me what we just heard." Sunshine explained the entire experience to him. He sat there, transfixed........ "If this could happen to anyone, you would certainly be the one!!" He hugged her and held her close.
They sat silently, both trying to comprehend all that had taken place. A little (4) White Rabbit scampered out from some flowers and sat near Sunshine:http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidpieces...
She smiled and reached out to pet it. Not to be! Down to the lake ran her little puppy Daisie Dixie and her little kitten, Gray Lady. Off hopped the bunny!

Sunshine and Matt gathered up their babies.
Matt:"There's a (3) Whole Lotta Love right here for you,sweetheart. Don't you leave us. You hear me?!" He kissed the top of her head as Daisie Dixie tried to lick his face.

Throughout the rest of the day, Sunshine's thoughts kept returning to her parents and to what had happened at the lake. This certainly was a Father's Day she wouldn't soon forget.......FATHER'S DAY! MATT!! She hastily wrote him a card. She put a little mud on the paws of Daisie D. and Gray Lady in order for them to write their signitures.
Over dinner, she handed him the card." And my gift to you is ...........well.......It's whatever you want. What can I do to make you happy, Matt....To make you as happy with me as I am with you?"
Matt grinned....http://www.fantafilm.net/attori/arness.j...
"Well, first you can sing me one of your songs." He handed her the guitar. Then....mmmm....."(2 )Let's Spend the Night Together, sans animals. I've got a whole bunch of (5) Midnight Confessions that I'd like to tell you about. And for ONCE I would like not have to compete for your attention. He looked over at their furry babies:http://d21c.com/misshollybelle/cardsmisc...
Matt:"It is my honest conviction that puppy and kitten are #1 and 2 on your list. Then comes Pickett's Charge(her horse).And I think Tom Sawyer (the horse that pulls their buckboard) and I are fighting it out for 4th place!!!" Sunshine laughed as she shook her head......."No baby. The list begins and ends with you."

She strapped on her guitar and sang him a song which demonstrated just how much she loved him.
Now dear reader....as you listen to this song, close your eyes. Imagine Matt Dillon as he hears Sunshine singing to him. Imagine how happy and proud it makes him feel:
