Legacies

Dark clouds are rolling in from Texas. They say rain and storms are coming and the night will sing and shine with the lightning and thunder. I go and quietly tell Destiny that I miss her one more time after three others today. And I reassure her that the lightning and thunder will not hurt her. It was one of the few things she was terrified of.

I gather some rose petals from roses past and sprinkle them atop where she lies. It is never enough. I never did enough for her while alive. I never gave half of what she did.

It was a month ago today, just about this time, when she finally passed away. And it has been a month of changes. One of gain and one of loss. One of missing a friend gone forever and guiltily cherishing a new one into my life.

The grass grew enough to cut that was just seed 30 days ago. A green blanket begins to hide the red dirt and clay of Destiny's grave. It never will dampen the love that my friend and I shared. She is still so much in my life - even though she is not of this world. She is still of my world.

I read A Stone For Danny Fisher at twelve years old which was written by Harold Robbins. I remember the last line of the novel. It has stayed with me all of these years. Truer words have never been spoken. And I think of them with each death I endure.

"To live in the hearts we live behind is not to die."

I hope I live in a heart as strong as Destiny lives in mine. To be loved that much is a true sign of greatness. And the only legacy I would ever want.
