After I hung up my phone an threw it across the room my dad came in.
"Hey," he said carefully. "You okay?"
"Yes," I lied.
"You sure?" He asked which REALLY got on my nerves.
"YES," I answered. "I just want to be alone."
As he left the room I feel horrible. I was taking out my anger on my dad who knew more about heart break then anyone else I know. My mom left him when I was two so it was just me and him. I still hear him cry at night. I was too young at the time to know she wasn't coming back so when I asked the question: "when is mommy coming home?" I broke him down more.

That morning I went to the little beach at the coast. Where I live the number one thing you see is ocean.
"Don't leave your shoes lying around!" a mother scolded her three children. One day they would wish they had listened.
My mom scolded me like that once...when she was alive. I miss her more than I would like to admit.
I just into the cool water, breaking the glassy surface, and sinking into darkness. I dived back up to the surface for air, bubbles popped to the surface with me. I drifted on my back on the waveless water, creating a ripple through the clearness. I imagine it's just me, the water, and the clear sky.
I let my worries and terrible thoughts sink to the bottom of the water. I could stay like this forever...but that can't be. I have to face the truth, no matter how heart breaking it is, and take the pain like a champ.
I sponge in the last of the amazing enjoyment of not having to worry and swim to shore.
