My throat tightened up as I drove slowly through the winding path. The granite angel monument sitting atop the small hill was the place of my destination. I wanted it to signify Carson’s guardian angel, taking his soul away to heaven, because I knew that was where he was. One day I hoped to see him again. Next to me in the car sat a single purple rose that I brought to put on his grave. Carson would always buy me multi-colored roses on special occasions because he knew I could never choose on one color; so he would make sure I had them all.

My heart pounding like crazy, I took a deep breath and opened the car door, making my way to the top of the hill. I haven’t had the courage to visit Carson until now, and I was scared to death. My eyes began to burn the closer I got, but it didn’t stop me from taking those last steps to my husband’s resting place. Kneeling down on the soft, green grass, I placed the rose on the ledge of the tombstone. The wind blew hard, bringing in the scent of fresh flowers and a rain that was about to come. Birds chirped as they took their flight while the breeze made the leaves rustle and the branches sway. It was strange that a place of sadness and death could be so peaceful and beautiful.

Carson was buried directly underneath where I was kneeling, and even though he wasn’t actually there I could still feel him in my soul. I took a deep, calming breath before speaking. “Hey Carson,” I said softly, and paused to look around. Why I waited for a reply that would obviously never come I didn’t know. Secretly, a part of me was hoping I would hear his voice talking back to me. “I’m sorry I didn’t come before, but you had to know how hard it was for me. You always told me I was a strong-willed person, but when you died I was anything but that. I ran away to forget, but I think it actually made it harder for me,” I cried. Letting the tears fall, I rubbed my hands across the deeply engraved letters of Carson’s name in the tombstone. “I miss you so much, Carson. I miss the way you laughed, the way your eyes would crinkle when you smiled, and the way you would hold me in your arms. I know the list could go on forever, but I wanted you to know that I would give anything to hear your voice again, just once.”

Closing my eyes, I let the cool breeze embrace me as the wind picked up. The spring time had come and a new life began, a new season and a time for change. “I will always love you, Carson. We may not have had all the time in the world, but it meant the world to me. Your love is inside me and I’ll hold onto it until the day I die; until the day we can see each other again.
