Another Day

Here it is Spring and today was a beauty, you did not get to smell the freshly cut grass, do you know the mushrooms are being found in your woods? The sun shown so warm and gentle today, it did not touch your face. For you are standing the the presence of another son, a much more powerful one. One that you can adore and serve, I just miss you so very much. I needed you to help fix Olivia’s bike seat yesterday, Mom helped but you would have done it so much more quickly. I need you to listen to the sound our green car is making, it’s a kind of whining sound, you would have known right away if it’s something to fix or just nothing. I miss you everyday, wondering why you were taken from us so quickly. No time to have another cup of coffee, no time to ask just one more question.  Your one fingered wave is no longer. I know you are watching over us, I wish you were here though, I want to see your smile hear your laugh. I can’t give you lemonade after you bag our lawn this year. Terry planted 168 hills of potatoes before Good Friday, you would have been suprised. 

Your bluebirds are back, Terry cleaned the houses out for you. No mice this year!  Freeman is getting married this Wed. you would like his Susan.  Matthew looked @ your tools in your shed  on Monday and knew you were the last to touch each one. Where to start? We can’t begin where you left off, we can’t put things together like you could, we can’t fix what’s broken, for it is our hearts this time and even you can’t fix them.  When will this ache stop? when will we stop looking for you to walk in the door, when will not need you anymore? Well, questions like that are hard to find answers too, you were the person I would ask. So, today is a day to remember you, right now is the time to tell you I love you and miss you. You are in my heart and that will Never change. I just still can’t believe you are not here.
