🎶 mother, I know your face
father, I still hold your place...

---

My father's obituary is in the paper today.
My mother didn't have one because I believe my father wouldn't accept that she was gone. 
My father's funeral is at the end of the month.
My mother didn't have one because I believe my father 
wouldn't accept that she was gone.
That closure has never happened. 
That list of her life has never been written.
And it hurts because she deserved it.
And we deserve it. 
But at least, writing this, I get the honor of shedding tears again, now for both of them.
That can’t be taken away.
