A day will come...

A day will come when I will only remember your smile, your snorty laugh and the way you loved me always.  I'll remember the times we baked together and the times we danced in the living room when I was 6, 7, 8, and all the way to the year you died.  

A day will come when the sun will shine and my first thought won't be you are giving me this day to help soften the pain in my heart.  I'll just enjoy the day for what it was. Just a day that the sun shone.

A day will come when I will not cry at the first thought of you...that was not today.  

Today I remember the way you smelled of lotion and hay.  I remember the dirt under your nails. I remember the slightly crooked way your glasses sat on your nose.  I remember the gentle way you watched your granddaughter do EVERYTHING from the moment she was born with unabashed awe. Like you had never seen someone like her before.  

Today I only cried once...Which is at least 5 times less than yesterday.  Maybe someday soon it will be once every now and then...but not today.

I will love you always.  I will never understand why you left so soon.  I still need you and wish you were here.
