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

    Dainty snowflakes dusted my shoulders as I darted across the open courtyard. Yawning from a hard day’s work, I quietly knocked on the studio door.

    I was devastated that day. I had grown to love this man deeply even though I was only twelve. I remember listening to each speaker earnestly, looking for solace in the words spoken. While I found comfort, nothing could take away the deep ache felt inside. The only thing that temporarily softened it was hearing…

    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.…

    I had dreams of growing old with him, of raising our children close like we were, of him being a godfather to one of my children, of him being one of the groomsman at my wedding, or celebrating every holiday together. It has never been the same and it never will be. I have a hole in my heart that will never be able to be full again. He was not here to see me graduate or go onto college, he missed out on my 18th birthday and he has missed out on some of the best days that could have been more memories. Sometimes all I need is a hug from him or to hear his laugh and that would be all it takes to make me feel better.…

    The Last Day Sweat was gleaming off my face as I finished lifting our couch into my mother’s van. It was a familiar action, we has always been moving around. We had held many houses for rent, each for one year at a time. We never stayed anywhere for long, presumably because nobody liked renting to single mothers with five kids. We were always drifters, seeking houses for rent and never having a permanent situation.…
