The Letter.
Cold and rainy December morning,
grey skies full of clouds.
My dads soft voice spoke
"Ashley, Ashley, wake up."
Tears glistened on his cheeks,
"Ash, your mom-mom passed away in her sleep last night."
She was just here
Two years later.....
A warm spring day with the birds chirping,
my mom walked in with three envelopes.
One for my sister, Andrea,
One for my Pop-Pop
And one for me.
The top open, tattered
I pull the letter out,
the wallet sized picture
tucked into the folds
I was in second grade.
I start reading,
"Ashley,"
The tears are instant.
She was proud of me,
She she loved me,
I saw the way she saw me.
