My Mourning, His Celebration
I had been used to it.
By now, Blake was wrapped up in his fairy-tale wedding with his first love, Megan Burns, and had no time to say goodbye to my father.
His heart had long since drifted, so requesting his presence was meaningless.
In fact, we were better off without him. I didn't want him to appear and taint the memorial.
As the coffin was lowered into the earth, the weight of loss crushed me. The man who'd loved me unconditionally was gone.
Staring at his photo on the tombstone, I couldn't hold it together any longer. My knees hit the cold ground, and a wail tore from my throat, raw and unstoppable.
