"I Am Always Remembering..."

Today I'm remembering the last time I heard his voice . . . I was hurting and angry, and I almost didn't take his call. But when I did answer, just the sound of his voice melted my heart as it always had, and for just a moment the anger, pain and heartache was gone. 

I'll never forget the last things he said to me, 

"I'm going to make you proud of me."

I've often wondered, should I be?

Seventeen years have now passed,

and I still wonder about it.

"I am always remembering...

and my greatest fear is that I might not live long enough to forget."
