The birds woke me up that morning 

Singing and flapping their wings

It felt like they knew I was listening 

It was beautiful… how amazing nature effortlessly creates its own rhythm 

I’ve never been more In love… 

I listened and  unconsciously started to sing along..

I didn’t want it to end 

But the knock on my door jerked me up from this blissful moment

It was my mom…she knocks but something felt different this time…

She barged in and broke the news..

Suddenly the birds went quiet…they must have heard it too..

I didn’t want to believe it…

But the silence from such a beautiful morning made it seem too real…

I fell on my knees and hoped to wake up from this dreadful morning…

I could feel it

My heart, fading away..

I prayed for the birds to sing again …

Flap their wings…but I got nothing

I could see from my mothers eyes that she was too weak to console me 

Her heart had drowned in her own tears…

It was obvious…

“Mum” I managed to say…

“Is he gonna make it?”…

“I…I don’t think so…” she broke into tears…

It was heavy..my tears…each drop weakened me the more…

How??…how did this happen??..

I couldn’t bring my self to ask….i just couldn’t..

The memories seemed to fade away…at that moment…life seemed so vague…

I tried to fight it…

I tried to keep all the memories within…

I can’t forget…it’s the only place he exists now…

My dear Cody…

But I know where you are….

“All dogs go to heaven”…

I know..

I know you’d be okay.
