It is the end of your life and you are up on
stage being presented with a major award. 
What award is it, and what have you won it for?  
I walk up the stairs, holding on to the railing.  No, I won't have to hold onto the
railing.  I will be cured of everything
for I will be in Heaven.  My family and
friends are sitting in the audience.  My
mentors stand in a line to shake my hand or give me hugs as I walk to the
center of the stage.  My dad will be
standing there to give me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. He hands me a bronze
statue of a falcon.  Or maybe, he will
hand me the cross I have been carrying all my life on Earth.
“It’ll do,” he says with pride.
The award? 
It will be called the Lisa Madelle Nixon Richard Norwegian Redneck Author
award.  I will have won the award for
being the best version of me.
