"How are you Mr. Parks"? I ask Ellie's dad.
"I'm good son. How are you?" He asks.
"I'm doing good. How is your wife doing?"
"She's getting bette every day"
"That's good. I just wanted to drop off the book I wrote for Ellie"
I hand him the book.
"A beautiful soul. That's a wonderful name" he says.
"She was a beautiful soul for sure"
"Yes, she was. Thank you so much" he says.
"Yes sir. I'm going to go see her today. It would've been our 3-year anniversary together today. I got her some flowers"
"Ok well tell her that dad says hi" he says and hugs me.
"I'll see you later Mr. Parks" I say and make my way to her grave.
When I get there, I set out a blanket and sit on it.
"Hey baby. Happy anniversary. I brought some flowers for you. I authored a book about you and dropped it off to your dad. I think you would have enjoyed the book. It's about a girl who met a guy and completely changed his life for the better. Maybe you can read it in another lifetime" I say and kiss her head stone.
I pick up my blanket and walk back to my car and cry.
I cry for the life I could have had with her, and I cry for our baby girl.
I take a drive and think about the memory's we made and the memory's I wish we could have made.
"My life will have meaning because of you. I will live my best life in your memory. Thank you for showing me love. I will be the best person I can be for you" I say to the sky.
I make that promise and I will stick to it. I will make her proud.
