I am running late ' she yelled , I need you to tie my lace whilst I lotion myself.
A small act of offering assistance became a habit and as time passed, she knew she never had to tie her lace alone again.
Every outing , every occasion , The words ' Tie my lace ' echoed.

He never taught her how to because he knew he would be around long enough to make sure she never had to learn.
With that promise of being around forever , He also never taught her how to live without him.
Because it is impossible , right? Heaven isn't so selfish to steal him so soon , Heaven knew she needed him forever and a day or two.

But it happened , sooner than he promised it would be , ' What happens to my lace ' she wondered , Will it stay undone forever?
She felt like throwing away every laced shoe , its not worth using if he isn't the one tying the lace.

As she set out to burn every shoe , she remembered , he tied those laces because he loved how it looked on her , he ensured they were always perfectly tied and that she was comfortable.
How can that go in vain?
She stopped , slid her feet in and with a river in her eyes , she tied her own lace.
She tied her own lace today and she will never stop tying them , not for herself but for him.
