Mar 2014
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.
