From the moment we're born, we all take steps and reach for the unknown. Reaching for what waits at the end. Reaching for the goals, hopes, dreams, and destinies that wait for one to obtain them. However, some may fall, some might rise, some might live...
The soft sound of rainfall echoed outside as my eyes rest and my mind wondered. Each drop fell in sync with one another to make a calming symphony to the ears. My heart slowed, and my mind slowly began to fade into the darkness. I know my time had come. There was little to do. I held on to the hand of my loved one. They were already gone, now it was my time. I breathed in one last time to the cool crisp air that kissed my face good bye. Then it all stopped.
Is it only the end that you begin to question what lays beyond when someone is gone? Or is it from the very beginning that this question is found in our minds? As I was sitting there talking my final breaths these questions ran through my mind like a endless ocean. Wide and endless they flowed in and out, many of them without even a answer. Just thoughts that fail from the sky and landed like rain drops, did they have a purpose? With my eyes closed my mind took me through the trip of my life, as I finished my final moments.
The first breath I took in this world was but a whimper. The doctors thought for sure that I was to weak of a child to make it in this world. However I proved, them all wrong after a while and let out my first cry and was brought to my mother's chest. Well so they tell me, my parents and everyone that was there. Now to the memories that are but a blur of my first steps and words that are thought by all the greatest milestone of being a young human. Then to the messed up days of relaxing, messy preschool and elementary school. Then the hormone years of believe I was the only one right in this world of middle school and high school. Remembering my first kiss and meeting the man sitting next to me, the love of my life. Raising two beautiful kids and being the best person I could be in life. Even though with that statement it is true that I had the faults I felt that everyone posses in not being perfect. With these thoughts running through my mind that final kiss of a breath came easy into my lungs, and I said good bye to this world.
