The conversation with Mica was well- needed to help with my closure. Our four years together will always mean something to me but I can't help the voice in my head telling me it was never meant to be. Maybe it was just my cliche high school self.
I opened the gate to the all-too familiar graveyard walking down the path. The flowers in my hand layed across the dirt of the grave stone.
In loving memory of
Rufus Jordan
1970-2015
Aged 45
Flowers surround many other gravestones around me. My fingers traced the engraved words on the stone as flashbacks on my dad and I play in my head.
"Hey, Dad. I'm sorry I haven't visited you in a while but I just wanted to say I miss you endlessly. Everyday I wish you could be with me and mom. It's so hard not seeing you every Christmas with your ugly sweater. I miss your stupid dad jokes that you thought were funny. It's been three years but it's so hard, Dad. I promise I'm trying but it's too hard to live without you."
Tears stared welling up in my eyes as the cold November breeze blew through my hair. Light sobs left my mouth and my eyes lingered around the rest of the graveyard. All these people peacefully sleeping while their families have been absolutely shattered with their passing.
I remember the day so vividly, almost as if it was yesterday. Seeing my dad on the stretcher broke me in ways words can't express. Seeing the destruction of the car after the crash was unbearable. Over the years, I've learnt to forgive the person who caused the crash knowing they had no control. This was also the main reason why I will never take a sip of alcohol in my life.
It saddens me thinking so many other people have to go through the same heartbreak. A loved one passing is probably one of the worst pain I've ever felt in my life.
My legs shivered as I stood up, the unusually cold, Californian air nipping at my skin. My legs walked towards the enterance of the graveyard towards my car. My hands instantly turned the heating on warming me up.
