The statistics of how children turn out without a father in their lives are not good. Dads, be there for you kids, no matter what. Then I heard RaeLynn’s Love Triangle and it went a different direction. When I first started this I was thinking it would be about old friends or old relationship, like Adele’s Someone Like You song. My Last Breath Here (Joey’s Song) by JK Nick Nichols – In The Time That You Gave Me by Bradley Walker feat Joey Feek – If you have not read this book, I highly recommend it. The ones that encouraged me, that gave me life, that gave my dreams life. The ones who gave me words of wisdom and taught me lessons. I am thankful for all those that have come before me, that have paved the way for me. I am thankful for my grandmas and grandpas. She helped me to be thankful for what I have. I know it may be silly, since she was just a leaf, but she taught me a lot. She passed down her Bible, with all her underlined and highlighted passages. Tenacious, stubborn, lived longer than most of the people she knew, and she passed down her words of wisdom. I put her in my scrapbook along with the picture of my grandma. I could see her saying it is now my time and then letting go of the branch. I could see her looking around with a smile on her face. I imagined she stayed long enough to teach the new leaves what she knew. I had to look hard to find her but she was still there. The warmer weather brought the green buds to life. I wondered what did she know that I didn’t know. Even in the worst conditions I felt like she was smiling. I had a reason to hold on.Įvery day I looked at that leaf. There wasn’t anything that could take me down. I knew if she could do it that I could do it too. Yes, she longed to be with her friends and family but she wasn’t done with this life yet. It was then that I thought I should admire her. Why was she still clinging to life? Why would she want to hang on? Her husband, her kids, her close friends, her distant relatives. Should I feel sad for her? I mean, she is the last leaf. I didn’t know if I should feel sad for her or if I should admire her.
