A Few Hours Later
When we were discharged from the hospital, i wrapped Bindi up tightly inside the pram which Uncle Ron had bought and pushed her along the path...
The buggy bounced a little as i walked down, through the gates of the cemetary and along the gravel path.
The gravel crunched under my feet as i pushed the buggy along the pathway.
Soon i pushed it onto the grass and picked baby Bindi up. I knelt with her beside the grave stone...
"Baby Bindi," i whispered
Bindi smiled up at me and squirmed like any baby would.
"This is your grandma, your grandpa and your auntie Bex...They cant be with us now but i promise i wont do anything like grandma did...," I whispered to her
I kissed Bindi's forehead and placed her back in the pram. I picked some fresh flowers and put a little bunch in each of the vases. Lillies for Bex, she always did love the water. tulips and Lavender for Mummy, she always did love that smell, blue bells for Daddy, he always used to say that he loved the shade of Mummys eyes...
I plucked a single rose from the bunch which uncle Ron gave me and i placed it inside Mummys vase...
"It's your new rose Mummy...To replace the one which wilted all those years ago...," i whispered as i plucked anther rose for Daddys grave stone...
"Daddy...This is for you...," I whisered as i put it into the vase "To remember all the things we did togethor in the rose field...,"
I stepped back from the graves and stood back behind the pram before setting off and not looking back at the stones.
It grew dark as I exited the cemetery and tears brewed in my eyes.
I couldnt see them as they were so tiny but in baby Bindi's green eyes there were little tiny baby tears, for the people she'd lost but never known.
One Month Later
We reached home from our trip to the cemetery, leaving fresh flowers there again but when I looked at where the house should be, it wasn't there...
Uncle Ron lay dead on the ground and i couldn't bare to look...
I turned away from the ruins of the house and ran as fast as i could away from the home...my home
How could this happen? The moment i think i'm happy, the moment when I think everything will be ok, it all falls apart.
