I Will Never...

I snuggled into one of Casey’s plaid shirts that had been discarded on the floor. I inhaled his scent from the collar and broke down again. It had been only three days since the funerals and I still haven’t left my bed. It seemed like just yesterday we were on our first date, climbing that ridiculous mountain. Casey never stopped amazing me for the three years we were together.

I knew the accident wasn’t my fault but I couldn’t help blaming myself. He had been speeding because of me. The baby had come early because I hadn’t taken better care of myself. It seemed like everything was my fault.

A sob escaped my lips and I rolled over in bed. I saw something on the nightstand that made me smile through my tears. It was a keychain that Casey had bought for me when we first moved into our house. It had two crosses for us and a tiny sock charm for our unborn baby. I cried even more and held the keychain to my chest.

“I will never forget you,” I whispered.
