Hey guys! Thanks to every one who reviewed and voted! The flower for this chapter is the cyclamen! Also, I apologize for the short chapter...

And just so you know, the stories don't go in chronological order. So this one is when they're much older.

Harvest Moon doesn't belong to me. But Holly and Jay do.

Enjoy!


Cyclamen

Goodbye

It was a normal morning, like any other. I was sitting on the front porch after having watered the flowers as I did every other morning. I didn't need to take care of my shop any longer ever since our daughter, Holly, took over the business. She said I was getting too old to run a business.

I averted my eyes from the patch of cyclamens growing on our field to our son, Jay, who was taking care of the livestock. He wanted to start running the farm on his own, insisting that farm work was far too strenuous for his mother, especially in her old age. But Lillian was stubborn. She let him take care of the livestock, but she continued to care for her crops.

Strangely, my vision started to blur and my head was spinning. I tightened my grip on the arm rests on the chair. I felt my breathing becoming irregular and short. Just then, Lillian came out onto the porch. I could just barely make out her figure. I started hearing some mumbling noises. They started getting louder as Lillian got closer to me. She was trying to talk to me. Even as she got closer and the mumbling became just the slightest bit clearer, I still couldn't understand what she was saying.

Little dots of black started clouding my vision and I could feel my heart beats getting slower. I hated to admit it, but I knew what it meant. I knew that my time was up.

I started reminiscing on my past. On my parents, my childhood, my distance towards others. But none of those mattered anymore. My life had improved drastically ever since meeting Lillian. She taught me to enjoy life, to be positive, and to love. I could never thank her enough for what she has done for me. I just hoped that my death wouldn't affect her too much.

I could faintly hear multiple voices call out my name. I wanted to apologize. But I couldn't say anything.

I'm sorry, Holly. I'm not going to get to see you get married.

I'm sorry, Jay. I'm not going to see you become "the world's greatest farmer".

I'm sorry, Ash. For not being a very good friend when we were young.

I'm sorry, Laney. For not being there when you needed me.

I'm sorry, Howard. For being so cold and distant, when you were like a father to me.

I'm sorry Lillian. For not being able to grow even older with you.

Good bye.
