life after death

I finally faced what I had been avoiding for two years now. The reality that you are gone from this world.

I couldn’t go to your funeral.

I stood outside across the funeral home, frozen. I watched the familiar faces grieve. I tried to cross the street, but I couldn’t. I didn’t want to face the reality. I still remember how you breathed me in. The way you looked at me. Your arms wrapped around me.

We met today to throw a gathering in your honor. It just wasn’t the same without you.

We all miss you! I miss you!
