Levi spent ten years with his mom. He loved walks, food from the table, and long afternoons on the balcony watching people and the sunset.

When he became seriously ill, she was six hours away. Levi held on until she returned, giving her time to say goodbye and sing his favorite song, “Happy Birthday.” He passed away with her beside him.

I can wait now imagines Levi arriving in heaven six hours late—and an angel discovering why. These scenes are an imagined continuation of their story.
