As I Walk Around

As I walk around our house it is now so quiet as a mouse. As I walk into your bed room I can still hear you mommy singing a hymen or two, or just being surprised of all the blankets on your bed that cover you. As I step into your shoes they do not seem to fit me like they did you. while I hear the tune from the Price Right show on Tv, or if it 4 o'clock it's time to watch Doctor Phil,,, these were just a few things in your daily life that seem to give you a thrill. As I walk into our bathroom I see your depends you wore they are still stacked up on the floor ready for you to use once more. all that medicine you took and your doctor appointments written in a book. are all still just laying there all I can do is sit and stare. As I walk in the kitchen your little table sits there and your walker stands bare. As I walk in the living room your rocking chair that once creaked as you rocked back and forth . This is just some of the things I will miss about you mommy wow, now what do I do, with out you? As I walk out on the porch I can still see you and Aunt Tean and Uncle Harley chatting while many pictures of you all I take. As I look over in betty jean yard I see her black eyed Susan flowers you dearly loved have died off for the winter. but when they was in bloom you would go over and stand and take a picture Mom you seem to love living and raising your family on this land. As I walk around I am surprised how fast my life has went after 11 years ago I moved here. I feel running down my face a few tears, Because I am trying to over come being with out you with out fear.! As I walk around our house.
