‹ Prequel: Letters To Auden
Wish You Were Here;
;
Dear Dad,
My first day of kindy started off in sadness. I woke up to Mum sobbing into her pillow, with the picture of you tucked into her arms. I just hugged her. And she held on. I may have only been four, but I had already realized the pain of losing someone. Like a hole gaping in your chest.
"Mum, why isn't Daddy here?" I asked. She looked down at me, from behind the steering wheel, and pulled over to the side of the road.
"Honey, your Dad is always there. You just have to close your eyes"
I met a girl that day. She, just knew, somehow. She knew how I didn't want my Mum to leave, in fear that she wouldn't come back. She knew the feeling of loss carved into my skin. She just knew. She held my hand, and walked me over to the drawing table. I remember her eyes sparkled in the florescent lights in the ceiling. They were pretty.
I wish that you would've been able to hold the drawing I done on my first day. A house, Mum, Me, and You. My dream.
Wish you were there,
Jace
