I GOT UP AND WALKED THROUGH THE HALLWAY TO THE RIGHT FROM THE LIVING ROOM TO GET A DRINK , THE REFRIGERATOR IS RIGHT INSIDE THE DOOR ON THE RIGHT ... I GRABBED MY SODA AND TURNED COMPLETELY AROUND AND LOOKED AT THE STAIRS NEXT TO THE FRONT DOOR IN THE HALLWAY AND THERE SHE WAS SITTING THERE WATCHING ME ... SMILING ... WEARING HER USUAL T SHIRT WITH A PACKERS SYMBOL ON IT ... ( SHE S THE REASON I LOVE THE PACKERS AND CHRIS IS A PATS FAN ... WE WENT TO THAT GAME TOGETHER , MY BROTHER CAME , PACKERS WON ) SHE LOOKED SO SERENE ... BUT I JUST STOOD THERE AND IT FELT LIKE THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD CAME OFF MY SHOULDERS ,( I NEVER REALLY GOT TO SAY GOODBYE AND SHE WAS CREMATED SO IT WAS A REALLY HARD FUNERAL FOR ME AND MY AUNT KELLIE ) , BUT SHE JUST FADED I GUESS , I WALKED IN THE LIVING ROOM , ALL THE LIGHTS WERE OUT , I TURNED THE LIGHT ON AND SAT NEXT TO CHRIS , HE LOOKED AT ME AND SMILED THEN ASKED ME " FEEL BETTER NOW ? " ALL I COULD DO THEN WAS SMILE AND TEARS SLID DOWN MY CHEEKS , HAPPY ONES ... THAT S HOW I KNEW HE FELT SOMETHING BUT THE ANGLE HE WAS SITTING HE ONLY SAW ME IN THE HALLWAY ... I TOLD HIM AND HE JUST SAID I BELIEVE YOU ....
