Every day.

I look for you every day.

I know, I'm not supposed to.

Since they took you away.

They buried you deep, where I could never find you.

Even if I found a shovel I was too small to dig that deep.

The day you came to live with us. 

I brought my wagon and pulled your suitcase and belongings

to our house from the bus station.

You said you would stay forever with us.

You stayed just over a year.

Then I watched you die, not really knowing why.

My mother, your daughter, sat by your side fanning you.

It was a warm day. 

I watched from the doorway as you took your last breath.

It looked as if you had fallen asleep.

I stayed for a while to see if you would wake. 

They came by train and took you to your wife.

My mothers, mother.

I never saw you again.

So, that's why I look for you every day just in case.

The innocence of a child who doesn't fully know or understand death so he doubts himself. This is a sad but heart warming one with character all its own. I like it.

Second line: to not too. The periods instead of commas don't bother me.

Thank you, Relic. I'll have to look up the (to, too, two rule). When to use the one that applies. read moreThank you, Relic. I'll have to look up the (to, too, two rule). When to use the one that applies.

Don't let it affect your writing. There aren't many here that will point out or even notice small errors. You're fine.
