I look up at the shaky leaves above.  The sun shines through them causeing differing I'm the shades of green. I stare,  as the  warm wind blows by my face. Yesterday,  was the biggest day of my life.

  I think back to the crashing waves in the background,  cloudy sky above the threaten us with ran.  The fire slowly dieing but still embers  and smoke remained. And he was there,  by my side. There we were hand and hand.  At the end of the dock.  Looking out.

 My mothers charcoaled body flowing away,  trailing flowers and smoke behind it.  The boat drifting off slowly into the waves of the ocean.

I close my eyes,  silence tears stream down the side of my temple and to my hair on the soft ground.  How could I ever be okay again? I felt as though I was falling down a well.

  "I will never be fixed" I thought aloud.

Then I hear a low familiar  voice,  from next to me.
"That's because you are not broken,  you are just hurting. And pain only heals with time. " He seems so sure. He looks out at the slow moving water.
" what if I can't make it through?"
I say with a shaky voice. He looked over at me and smiled.
"Then we'll take it a day at a time."

I open my watery eyes,  and look at him as he sits next to me.  I lean into him,  and he sits frozen for a moment. I then feel him relax and put his arm around me.
"Yeah, a day at a time." I whispered. We stayed there for hours. For weeks I saw him every day. He would come and ask me one question. Not how are you,or are you okay, because he knew I wasn't okay. 
" Can you make it though today?"
And I would always reply the same.
" yes. Today I can."

Over the next year me and Jackson loose touch. Slowly the daily visits turn into weekly ones. Each time I would answer more confident than the last. Until the day He moved back to California with his family. I stayed here in New York by myself.
I Wake up every morning knowing I will make it though today.

A couple of years passed and I learned that I will always find my way, alone and strong.

At least thats what i thought untill the first of October...
