Ashleigh was a little three year old, and I could see she'd be really pretty when she was older.
I wasn't sure how how, but becoming a mother just let me see clearly. About so many things. What was important and what wasn't worth it.
**************************************************
I'd picked her up from the daycare and took her to the playground, where we were supposed to meet Jamie, the little girl who was Ashleigh's best friend, and her mother, Jenna. Jenna was a single mother, like myself, but two years older. We'd become best friends as our children had.
It was Friday, and Jamie and Ashleigh were having a sleepover. They'd be camping out in my living room.
**************************************************
Not a day goes by that I don't think of Shaun. If he did what I'd asked him to.
Ashleigh and Jamie had found one another, and were dragging Jenna over to where I was standing. I bent down and hugged my little girl as she ran into my arms. She giggled and asked if she and Jamie could play here before we went home. I smiled at her, and told her it was fine.
"Well, I should probably get going. Thanks again for taking Jamie," Jenna said, and turned for her car. But I didn't hear a word she said.
I felt someone staring at me.

I breathed in and out slowly. This was horrid. Running. I spat at the word. I despised running.
Joseph jogged up to me. "You okay Kristen?"
"Yeah, just give me a minute."
"Hah! You always end up like this. Maybe you should quit track?"
"You know I can't! If I do, then I have to do Trigonometry. Ugh. That's worse."
"Right..."
I stood up and we walked in silence. His lithe step did not match mine. I had a clumsy, trip over step. I needed somebody to teach me how to walk right.
"Oof." I had tripped, and landed on my side. How? I have no idea. Normal people land on their face or back. Not me!
Please e-mail me or comment. Tell me if you like this segment or not, if I get enought votes, I will continue my writing.

You couldn't and wouldn't,
ask for anything more.
Now all you want,
is to be able to rest.
For your famliy to be happy.
You wish you could help them,
through the pain,
but you can't,
you can only watch,
from the sky.
You can only watch them cry.
Hearts are now broken.
But your love,
is forever out spoken.
For twith out you,
there'd be no hope,
for those to come.
You put the doctors one step closer,
to finding the cure.
You may be just another person to them,
but to me your so much more.
Your one in a million,
your unequie.
I have just one more thing to say.
Plaese rest now.
Rest now and sleep.
May heven bring you happiness and peace.
