Sunrise
Normally, I am awake before the sun comes up, so I see the sunrise every morning. This was his favorite time of day. He said, "the sunrise brings a new day. A day to try again to get it right. A day to try and correct the wrongs from days before. A day to love and to be loved by those who mean the most." I'm reminded of those words every morning now. In the years before, i would just laugh at his philosophical jargon and go on about my day. But now thát same jargon holds a deep meaning in my heart.
I can hear those words coming from his mouth as if he were standing right here with me whispering them in my ear. Maybe because he doesn't get to see another sunrise. Not from here on earth anyway. Or maybe because he didn't get to correct the wrongs he wished to correct. Or maybe, it's simply because we didn't have one more day; one more day to say i love you, or im sorry, or i forgive you.
However, while we didn't have one more day with you, i still have one more day. One more day to remember the man i fell in love with; One more day to cherish with our children; One more day to love them and teach them and to remind them of who you were.....before the drugs took over you. And for every sunrise i see, for the rest of my life, I'll live by these words that you left with me. And i will pass these words to our children, so that they too can remember what each sunrise means.
But for most of you who read this, you don't know the story. So for those of you that are interested, or those of you that are going through a similar situation and need to know you aren't alone, or for those who have been there before and can relate, I'll continue my story on another day if I'm lucky enough to see another sunrise. But for now, I have one more day to live. Until next time, thanks for reading :)
