Monologue by Braylon Delibac

A little boy was born on march 30, 1992. His name is Brian and his father is in the military on leage. The boys mother had the news that the boys father had passed when they boy was only 6 months old. Brian was just put down for a nap when the two marines showed up at the front door. The mother had let the gentleman in and they told her that her husband had gotten shot and he didn't make it threw. They gave her a flag and gave her there best regards and carried on with their day. The father only had a week left before he could have a home visit to meet the little guy. The mother hadn't told the little guy yet until he was old enough to understand that he has no dad now.

“ Hi daddy I am two years old now, I really miss you when are you coming home? I am in daycare now where I made lots of new friends Iwish you could meet them, I know they would really like you. Mommy misses you too. I cant wait to see you . “

( Two years later the mother had told Brian that his father had passed when he was only 6 months old, but she told him that his dad really loved him and would be so proud of him so his mother took him to where his father is resting as the little boy puts his hand on the gravestone trying to hold back the tears)

“Daddy mommy told me the news today, I am so said I had mommy wright you a letter when I was two did you get that? I sure do hope so. ( tears start to roll down his face as his mother hugs him for comfort as she lets the tears run down her face as well.) Its so hard without you here to guide me”

( Brian decided to ride over to the cemetery on his new bike) “ Hi dad its me, I am now 7 years old and mommy says I'm growing up fast. I am sure that you know that by now, my teacher knows what happened to you and she told me that you will always look after me to make sure I am okay, is that true? I learned how to ride a bike, I go fast. Mommy bought this bike for me for my birthday! you like it? Am I going to see you someday? well I have to go daddy, I miss and love you.”

( Brian and his mother are out for a walk and they pass by the cemetery ) “Mom can we go and visit him. “ It will be okay I just want to say hi” ( They both started to head towards the grave) “ Mom I'll wait here so you can go talk to daddy alone for a few minutes” ( Mother turns towards Brian with a surprised look and she nods her head again, Brian sees his mother looking at the grave with tears in her eyes, then Brian sees her start to talk but can't make out the words, after a few minutes Brian hears his name to come over, when he gets there she hugs him and tells him that they both love him so much and are so proud of him) “ Mom I told you it will be okay, and daddy I know that you are here with us and I see mommy cry sometimes I know its because you are not here, mommy you know he is always watching over us ? well daddy we are going to continue our walk now, I love you! “ ( his mother says the same and they go back home)

( Brian comes back when hes 18 long over due) “ Hey pops I know I haven't been around too much lately I'm sorry I just been busy with school and helping mom around the house. She still is dwelling that you are not here but she doesn't blame you, she loves you alot, I still catch her crying every now and again I wish she was happy , so I don't have to see her like this. When its her time to go she wants to be placed right here next to you in this empty space, and I too would like to be placed here close to you and her.

“ hey dad, well I'm 19 now. I'm not at your grave but I'm sure you're able to hear me, I went by the other day and saw that mom put flowers by your grave. I'm in college now for welding I seem to be doing well in the class I wish I could show you what kinda things we are doing there. I also am working a part time job just outside of campus, I haven't seen mom in a little while but I'm sure she is doing just fine. I found a girl she is really pretty and fun to be around I'm sure you would have liked her, I haven't told her about you yet but I will soon I promise. Well I have to go to work now, love you pops”

“ Hey dad, whats it like up there ? well i'm 23 now and i am almost finished college, you proud? i went and saw mom yesterday.. she is getting sick but the doctors think that it might be just a flu, she doesn't look to healthy though. I hope she will be alright and i know youre looking after her like you do with me. I might be busy for a while but i will try to take the time to come back and visit again but i have school tomorrow so i have to head out soon, i miss you and love you pops”

( Brian parks on the drive of the cemetery with a sad look upon him as he walks towards the grave with some flowers in his hand with a note inside the flowers with his girlfriend by his side) “ hey pops… this is the girl I was telling you about, told you she was a looker, her name is Katie, but I have some news to tell you… Doctors told mom that she only has a few days left so I had to come home, she told me to bring you these flowers but she said I can't read the note thats only for you.. she knows she doesn't have much time, she wished she came here with me today but she can't even get out of the bed, remember when I told you she was getting sick 3 years ago? well that was no flu… I guess it is some kind of stomach bug that is destroying her from inside out and she won't let them shut off the supporters and I'm not sure why.. she will be with you soon.” ( some tears start to roll down his face.) “ you make sure she is okay up there with you… I will miss the both of you and we are going to place her right here with you like she wanted, well I will see you in a few days, love you pops”

( Funeral day, everything is in place and where it needs to be. Friends and family are surrounding where my father and soon to be mother is to be rested, people with tears in there eyes. Flowers surrounding my mother as the preacher reads on saying prayers. Feeling of loss inside me, I close my eyes and smile, my turn to talk now) “ As you all know, my father passed when I was only 6 months, my mother was a strong women and everyday she would try to make things better for me and for herself, my father is the only guy that she loved and now they can meet once again. Way up there in heaven, they will both be missed dearly. I love you both and you both will always be in my heart. I will see you soon”

( preacher asks if anyone else would like to say a few words but at this point not to many people could talk without crying. Kaite with tears in her eyes holding me close, they start to lower the coffin down into the ground, I take the shovel and throw some dirt into the hole, with everyone else behind me doing the same) “ love you mom and dad i hope you two are happy now” ( I place some flowers upon dads grave and then we head out to get some food, and to drink a bit)

“ Hey mom and dad, This is your granddaughter Taylor. I am sure you knew that. This are starting to go well, Me and Katie are going to get married soon. and we are going to get a nice house soon as well. I think about both of you all the time, Taylor wishes that she could have meet you guys, I'm sure you would have loved her.” ( I kneel down and put both of my hands on each of the graves) “ I love you both, see you when I see you.”
