When I was five, My mom
went to heaven.
The
doctor's said she wasn't in much pain.
"Mommy's just
sleeping...", Daddy said before he burst into tears at what I
now know, was her funeral.
Every morning,
I would ask my dad, "Daddy, wheres Mommy?"
He always said
she was still sleeping, until he couldn't act anymore. I was
only five, but I could tell my dad was upset. No one mentioned her,
and it felt like she'd been a memory, not mine, but someone
elses. Then, one day, I went into my parents' old room. I saw
her stuff, neatly placed where it would've been, as if she
never left.
I could hear my
dad mumble stuff like, "Why had that truck run that red
light?" or "If only I'd been with her..." by the
time I was twelve. I used to think it was my fault my dad had
stayed home with me instead of going to the store with me
mom...
Then, It was
like magic, my dad met his current girlfriend, Marlene,
but we call her Marley. She is my dad's savior. One
day, we'll all be a family again, Me, My mom,
My dad, and even Marley, I think my mom would like her...
