We walked to your grave today.
Rachel seemed to be fine.
But I know it's taking every muscle, bone and nerve in her body
to be this calm.
"Are you sure you're ready?"
She just nodded and stood
straight, gazing forward
at your tombstone. Once
we reached you, she crouched down
before the stone and smiled
weakly.
"Hey, Charlie," she stuttered.
"I bet you're doing well... is
there such thing as the after life?"
"Heaven?"
"Where are you...?"
She inhaled shakily.
"I'm finally letting you go...
after all this time.
I'll be strong for you.
I'll be happy for you.
I'll let go...
For you."
For a spilt second,
I was very happy she was
moving on.
But my heart quickly
dropped to my stomach
when I realized for who she's doing
this for.
you.
