"I'm sorry son, she's gone." I remember sobbing. I remember being pulled away by a crying Kevin. I remember later that night ,as I sat numbly on the living room couch, Brianna tip toeing to me and curling up in my lap; a picture of her mommy in her hands.
"Mommy gone daddy." Her little lip quivered and the sight of her made me start crying all over again.
"Yes, sweetie. Mommy is gone to a better place; she doesn't hurt anymore. But she'll always watch over you, Brianna. She loved you." I held her tightly until she sat up and looked me straight in the eye.
I'll never forget the assurance in her eyes as she kissed my cheek and smiled, " Mommy loved you too daddy. She watch over you too. Mommy your angel." Tears slipped from my eyes as I hugged her to me. Life would never be the same.
Some people search their whole lives,
Never find what I found in your eyes.
Glad I got to get the chance,
To have you in my life.
I won't be sad when I look back,
*End Flashback*
I felt a tug on my suit jacket and I looked down to see Brianna, arms outstretched. I lifted her up and kissed her forehead. I could never regret my time with Miranda; she gave me soo much. Not only did she give me a beautiful and bright daughter, but she gave me five wonderful years of love and compassion. Nothing could change that, not even her death. I blew out a breath I wasn't aware I had been holding. " Daddy?" Brianna's sweet voice broke through my thoughts.
"Yes baby." I answered, brushing her blonde curls from her face.
"Mommy an angel now. Don't be sad; Mommy is in Heaven." I smiled at her, new tears forming in my eyes.
"Yeah sweetie she is. Mommy's always been an angel to me, but now she really is one." Brianna nodded and then asked to be let down. She ran to Nick, who smiled softly at me. I managed a brief smile, then turned back to the casket in front of me.
Coz' I was loved
I was touched.
And I learned what love is,
and I learned what love is;
I was blessed, soo blessed
Coz' I learned what love is.
I bent over it; kissing her head softly, " Watch over me and Brianna, angel. I love you." I moved away, a strange sense of peace washed over me as I looked back at her still form. I had our memories; our good times along with our bad. And that was what I would always carry with me. I learned to love again by having Miranda in my life. I learned that everyone is put on this earth for a purpose and Miranda's was clear. She taught me everything I would need, if ever she was gone. And now that she was, I could move one. Knowing that I had her but for a moment, but the happiness we shared would stay with me forever. I had gotten all I ever wanted out of life; From loving her.
I learned what love is
From loving you
~*The End*~
