My Goodbye

Elisa Ashley
My goodbye says farewell to a friend
so long to my past
goodbye to my life as I know it

My goodbye says I am alone
My kids are broken
My house is barely a home

My goodbye says I have doubled my responsibility
singled the number of people I can count on
tripled the love I have with my children

My goodbye says I am going to learn to do things myself
things I "unlearned" when you were here
I am going to figure things out

My goodbye says I have a future
small and insignificant it may seem
but it belongs to me and my babies

My goodbye says hello
to myself and my future.
Imagine the possibilities.

    Awesome, sis!!! You CAN be positive, and out of pain, comes growth. You are showing your strength, not only to others, but to yourself.
    I am soooooooooooo proud of you!!!
