Without You

Chapter 3: the end is near

(79 years later)

I am now ninety three years old and I can feel that my time is near, I stared at the daises outside rustic window, all I could think about was how Anna and I laughed all night and all day, on that one single day, eighty-six years ago.

I watched as everyone around me having fun as the care workers cared for them. I asked one of the workers if she would allow me to step foot outside for one last time, to simply touch the one most beautiful daisy out there. She took me by my hand and carried my stroller over to me.

We walked outside together, and I felt the warmth of the sun beat down on me. I picked my favourite daisy from the flower patch and I held it closely to my face, and whispered to it... "Goodbye Anna, until we meet again."
