Snow Angel

I feel the tears on your face bleeding into my heart as you stare out the back window of our house and I know you’re thinking of me. The bittersweet memories this snow covered landscape brings so clearly to your soul are also etched into mine. Can you feel me, Papa, like I can feel you? Can you see me like I can see you? I’m right here, Papa, standing in the snow, under the old apple tree waiting for you.

Open your heart to the good memories we shared in this garden. Remember that you said this garden was my kingdom and that I was your Queen. Remember us underneath the apple tree in summer as you read your book while I would sleep in the grass beside you. I was always beside you, following your every footstep. Remember me following you around as you cut the grass in the summer or remember us rolling around in the snow together every winter.

Winter holds my favourite memories of us; that’s why I’ve come to you now. I need you to feel me and know that I’m here waiting for you. We will be together again when your time comes; this I promise you.

Use your heart to look closely under the apple tree and I will be there. Remember the last words you said to me. Remember our unconditional love.

Remember that you said, forever you will be my human and forever joined together we would be.
