A cool, November wind blew at the nape of my neck. I bundled further into my scarf, pulling my beautiful children closer. We stood in front of my father's gravestone, with tears rolling down our cheeks.
I was only nine when he went off to war. He had always been there for me whenever I fell down, whenever I was in pain. But he was about to disappear. I couldn't wake up on Saturday mornings and jump on his bed to wake him up. He couldn't take me out for ice cream, or to the CN Tower, or even sing to me at night when I couldn't fall asleep. He was gone. Another river of tears ran down my numb face.
My daughter squeezed me in a tight embrace. "I'm sorry, Mom," her tenor voice carried out above the wind. "You and Grandpa must have been really close."
I nodded. "Yes, Tara, my little girl. Your grandfather and I were the best of friends."
There was another gust of wind, blowing bronze leaves towards us. My son, Harry, glanced upward into the cyan sky. I followed his gaze, and to my bewilderment, my youngest child was regarding the Canadian flag as it waved vigorously in the tempest-like

    I still hadn’t quite figured out that he was really gone. I waited at the door till I had to eat or use the bathroom, and then returned to sitting on the floor. Eventually it got to the point where everything began to sink in and by that time, I had already run out of tears to cry. Instead, I was angry; I was mad at my mom for letting him ride a motorcycle, at myself for letting him leave, at him for dying without me knowing it was going to be the last time I would see him alive, and at God for taking away the only person who knew all of my secrets. My older brother, younger sister and I were the only ones who really understood what was going on. My mom was handling everything privately and was constantly kicking us out of her room because it was none of our business. So I went to bed…

    They were my father’s parents, and they had not seen me in a long time, as well as anyone else on my father’s side. Nobody on my dad’s side got along with my mother. As my two brothers and I loaded our belongings into our grandparent’s car, I couldn’t help but stare at my old house. I remembered how much I had been anticipating this day, the day where I could go away from all of the moving and go see my dad for a whole month. He had never had me for such a long period of time, and living at my mom’s had been difficult. As I left, however, I felt my heart wrench. My stomach ached and my brain went numb. I knew my mother felt bad for all of the pain she was making us go through, and it made her feel worse that we were excited to get away from her. As my grandfather put the car into reverse, I felt myself getting farther away from my mother. My eyes began to puffen and produce tears, and my lower lip began to quiver. I was helpless as my grandfather drove away from my mother, ceasing my hopes of seeing her. I held back the tears and was able to calm down, solely in embarassment of crying in front of everyone. I felt hollow as we drove even further away. I yearned to be with my mother, I thought I had wanted to leave, but know I knew I couldn’t bear to leave…
