Today, I had my first test.
Today, again, when she started.
Today, I sank to the floor wishing you were here. To hug me, to tell me that it’ll be ok. You were always the one that could calm me down.
But I picked myself up. And I reminded myself that I didn’t need you. I reminded myself of what you said before you left. And what you made me promise you. Your voice in my head.
And somehow it was ok again. I was ok again.
Today, I took my first step forward.
