Snow.
That's what broke me.
Staring into the night.
Seeing that thick, white blanket drape everything.
The memories flashed through my mind.
Dad and me out in the snow.
Coming inside to her.
She was so happy.
As we took off our wet clothes, she got us a blanket.
She said,
"Sit on the heater, put this blanket around you both. You'll be warm in no time."
Mom loved the snow.
She thought it looked beautiful.
Reminded her of when she was a kid.
Snow used to bring me laughter.
Now it brings me pain.
Seeing the snow tonight, broke me.
Crying and not able to stop.
Snow.
Perfect.
White.
Silent.
Snow.
Left me crying into the night.
