I wiped at my tears, however much I try they just won't stop. I wasn't crying per se just my eyes were refusing to close the dam they so elaborately opened an hour or two ago. I was sitting alone in my room, pictures scattered around me.
I lightly brushed my hand along our family portrait. I picked up mom's picture and kissed her, thinking maybe she could feel it. I was afraid I am starting to forget her, her voice isn't as sharp in my ears as it used to be, her face is getting slightly blurry and the sound of her laugh was not sounding as it used to be, the feel of her arms around me, the warmth is no more.
I know it was hard for me, but it was much harder for dad. He lost his partner and I would totally support him if he wanted to settle down again but Raven? Gosh, I can't even picture them together not without thinking about mom. How would she feel?
