I was sitting in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee. It's been 3 days since we had to bury Ava. My mama has moved in to help out around here and I feel bad for her, but I don't have the energy to do nothing around here. I took a few weeks off from work so I can just stay here. I don't care if I leave this house ever again. The only reason why I haven't killed myself, is because of our children. They need one parent here on earth with them. If Ava and I didn't have any of them, I would be laying next to my wife already. 

This house don't feel the same with out her being here. No one has even went into the living room at all. I haven't been sleeping in our room either. I don't care if I ever go back in there. If Ava would have listen to me and got rid of Arlo when we found the cancer, she would still be alive and still be with me right now. 

I got up from the kitchen table and grabbed my truck keys and left the house. I can't be here right now. I walked out to the truck and got in it. I need to see her again. I don't know what I'm going to do with out her. She way everything to me. I pulled out of the drive way and headed to the cemetery where my wife now lives. 

It's only 3 miles down the road where Ava is buried at now, so on nice days I can have my morning jog and visit with her. I know I'm going to have to see her every day if I have time too. I got to keep her memory a live for the kids. That's going to be the easiest thing that I can do for them. I have a lot of great memories with Ava. 

I just got to the cemetery. I got out of my truck and walked over to Ava's head stone. I looked down at her and smiled. I sat down on the grass. I rubbed her head stone. 

"Morning baby." I said to her.

"I'm sorry you are here now. I don't know what I'm going to do. This isn't easy for me. I know I should be the one here and not you." I said to her. I wipe the tears falling down my face. 

"God, I hate this." I said to my self. I put my hands on my head. 

"Why didn't you listen to me Ava. Why didn't you listen to the doctors. I was okay with the 4 kids we had. But-- but you didn't listen. Now here I am here all alone raising our kids." I yelled out.
