I cried today when we got a letter in the mail. I cried because you weren't there.
You weren't there to hug me - you weren't there to tell me it'll get better...
I cried today, as I curled up in the hollow on your side of Dad's bed, my tears soaking into your pillow. I cried as the pain slowly subsided, as Sophie leaned into me, sighed deeply, and lulled me to sleep.
I cried last night because you weren't there to walk in on me in the bathroom. You weren't standing at the sink brushing your teeth... You weren't there to give me a kiss goodnight. I cried because your car's no longer in the driveway...because all I have left are pictures of what was.
And it hurts, Mom. Your absence hurts... It's all around me ...
