i wasn't asking for a smile though i wanted one indeed and i thought you have the rest of yours away but the night you opened your eyes and i saw the blue ocean for what might be the very last time you told me things that will stick in my head until it is my time to pass the words along "i love you, goodbye" thank you for the journey
My aunt isn't doing very well and barely ever speaks or opens her eyes, but as I was leaving last night and I bent down to kiss her forehead and say goodbye, she opened her eyes and said "i love you, bye katie" when I touched her hand. She's the strongest woman I know.
