Summary: In the midst of her grief Susan feels alone, but is she is really as alone as she thinks she is? Are the dead truly dead or do they live on inside of us?
You'll be In My Heart
Cause you'll be in my heart Yes you'll be in my heart
From this day on now and forever more
You'll be in my heart No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart always
She wears a long black dress with a black umbrella to shelter herself from the rain that falls, like the tears that she can longer hold back. She feels empty and alone abandon by everyone she loves. She wishes she could keep on crying but her body no longer cares. People ask her why she continues to come here; it is because it's the only place she feels at peace. She pays no attention to what others say; they wonder why she still weeps. Her heart weeps for the loss of her faith and love, but her mind can cry no more.
Edmund wonders what happened to the once strong sister he knew, who sits in front of a grave crying her heart out wishing she could talk to him. Seeing her so broken, Edmund wishes he could take her in his arms and give her a shoulder to cry on. He hears what the people say and is proud when she stands up for herself. He wishes he could tell her that everything will work out in the end. He knows she will understand in time, but he wonders if understanding will be enough for her. He begins to glow, his time is up.
Susan no longer wishes for things that can never be, her past is history and her future is tomorrow. Though she lost her way, she found it again and now her life is on the right path. Sometimes she still wishes that her family was with her but she has a family of her own. There are times Susan still thinks she sees her younger brother watching her from afar with a smile on his face. She wonders how she did not notice until now.
Edmund watches his older sister from afar, glad that she has finally found her way. He no longer regrets leaving because now she understands that this is the way things were meant to be. Edmund knows that she will join them when the time is right. Until then her family and friends will continue to watch over her and her family.
Sometimes we rush through life trying to be someone we're not and we lose our self in the process. Every day we wake up to the same thing like clockwork. We don't realize everything you had until it's gone like the sand in an hourglass.
A/N: This story will have three chapters and will be about the same length as this chapter. The last part is the lesson that Susan learned from Edmund. Please R&R! Thank you.
