GoodbyeA Story by Lil.Sis5The smell of roses filled my nose and lungs as I walked through the room. Family members in black rushed past me like shadows in the dark. They all looked down on me in my young age, but I will remember that day. I, like the other kids, didn’t understand, but deep down I knew one day I would. Even now thinking of this day brings a lump to my throat and tears try to flood my eyes. Young, but I do still remember. The people, the church, the tears, even the carpet, but the one memory I remember most…. him. The stillest I had ever seen him. Closed, I could not see the beauty of his electric blue eyes. His illness took him down peg by peg until it took him completely. He will miss birthdays, graduations, weddings, holidays, and so much more. My wedding, my graduation, and my birthdays. He won’t attend any of them…..at least I won’t see him. Not as I walk across the stage or walk down the aisle. He won’t stand in the audience, but he stands in memories, hearts, and minds. © 2015 Lil.Sis5 |
