One Last Tear

With tears about to fall, and her breath shallow. She recalls her life, She Looked at her eldest child, in a weak and barely audible voice and said, “I remember falling in love with my best friend. I had three beautiful children. And five grandchildren. I had good job. I've led a full life. I love you daughter”. The tears fell as she took her final breath. 2-5-19 Contest: One Last Tear Sponsor: Silent One
