I remember the cold dreary day in the begging of December when I was told you were gone. You left us. On your own accord. Just like that. you. were. gone.<\/p>\n
You left us. On your own accord. Just like that.<\/p>\n
On your own accord. Just like that.<\/p>\n
Just like that.<\/p>\n
you. were. gone.<\/p>\n
I didnt\u00a0think it was true, I didnt want to beleive it, I refused to. the news knocked the wind out of me<\/p>\n
the news knocked the wind out of me<\/p>\n
I remember every detail of that day<\/p>\n
the ice that fell made the pipes freeze and I couldnt wash my scrubs<\/p>\n
I needed to wash my scrubs, I needed to wash something, to occupy myself<\/p>\n
to do something<\/p>\n
other than to think about you being gone<\/p>\n
I sat on the couch and watched the TV about Berts\u00a0Bees<\/p>\n
I know the TV was talking but all I could hear was our last conversation<\/p>\n
and how you were doing better<\/p>\n
just days before<\/p>\n
you were okay<\/p>\n
and now<\/p>\n
now you were gone<\/p>\n
and all I could do was sit and watch the ice fall from the sky<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
