Finding Strength by Shevawn Michelle
Coming October 15th, 2015
“Anna, don’t
do that. It’s okay to smile,” he says.
“How can
you say that, Jacob? Do you know how hard it is to go on as if she never
existed? Smiling hurts, knowing she will never smile again. Why should I be
allowed to when she can’t?” I ask, the tears now threatening to spill over. Jacob
reaches across the table, taking my hand in his. The warmth from his grasp is
working its way up my hand, as if searching for a way to my heart.
“You don’t
go on as if she never existed, Anna, because she did, she still does. She can
still smile, I believe that, but she can’t do that if you won’t live your life
to the fullest. What you are doing right now, it’s not good for you. It’s not
good for her. You are never going to forget her. She lives on in you, but the
only way for that to happen, is for you to actually live. If you give up, then
Lindsey’s memory will fade away. Don’t let her memory die, too.” I can no
longer hold the tears at bay and they spill over onto my cheeks.
“Live for
her, Anna. Live for you.” His gaze turns pleading, his eyes burning into mine,
searching my soul. “Live for me.”
Looking
into his baby blue eyes, I know that he has just picked up the first piece of
my shattered heart and put it back into place.
