“Bette, can you take me somewhere?” Tina asked quietly, staring out her window.
Bette glanced at her. “Well, sure, honey. Where is it you want to go?”
“To see Jenny,” Tina replied.
“What?” Bette asked, confused a moment. As Tina turned to look at her and their eyes met, it clicked. “Oh. Are you sure you want to go there?”
Simply nodding, Tina turned back to the window.
Bette sighed and guided the car toward the cemetery. When they arrived, she went to get out of the car to help Tina out. Tina stopped her. “No, I can do it myself.”
Awkwardly standing beside the car, Bette stepped aside to let Tina get out on her own. Tina began slowly making her way along the path, relying somewhat on her walker. Bette carefully began to follow her.
Tina, sensing Bette behind her, stopped and turned around. “No, I’d like to go by myself, please.”
Unsure of what to do, Bette just stared at her. “Are yousure?”
Tina had already begun to continue her walk. “Yes. Just wait in the car. I’ll be back soon.”
Bette did as she was told, getting into the car and watching Tina’s limping form until it disappeared from view. Biting back tears, Bette dropped her head to the steering wheel, pressing her forehead into it, and waited.
Tina deposited her walker onto the grass beside Jenny’s headstone. With effort, she managed to sit down in front of it, her fingers tracing the lettering on the cold stone. Her fingers outlining each word as she recited it, Tina read aloud the poem etched onto Jenny’s headstone:
“Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight.
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there — I do not die.“
