the family
When I hugged her, I was 5 yrs old. My heart cried hysterically, screaming, begging her to stay. I wanted to tell her how beautiful she'd always been, how brave and strong she is, how much I needed her to stay. My heart cried but I didn't. I was reserved like she'd taught; never to display the pain. I said goodbye to her today and I watched her walk away, holding her 5 yr old daughter's hand. |
