The Last Goodbye

“Laugh whenever you can, cry when you need to, Scream when you want to,
apologize when you know in your heart you should, and always love when it feels
right because life never gives what it takes.” That was what a young girl wrote
on the card that would now be buried with her father. She was driving home from
her father’s funeral repeating that in her head, thinking of all the times and
memories she had with her father, and wondering if she turned into the young
girl her father would have wanted her to be, when all of a sudden all she could
feel was the warmth of her own blood that surrounded her. She looked around and
all she could see was flashing lights, then for what seemed like a lifetime
later she hear a voice say “I don’t think she’s going to make it,” right before
she closed her eyes.
