When August Comes
August is drawing near,
And with it comes the dream
We have prayed for all these years.
I smile because your future is bright.
I smile because our dreams
Are finally becoming reality.
But when no one is looking,
I wonder how quiet this home will become.
Each passing day feels faster now,
As if time itself
Is counting down the moments,
Passing more quickly than my heart is ready for.
For twenty-three years,
Life has always been us—
The ordinary mornings,
The shared meals,
The laughter,
The little moments I never imagined
Would become the memories I'd miss the most.
Soon, I will watch you both
Begin a beautiful new chapter,
While I remain here,
Praying for you every single day,
Holding on to hope
That this goodbye is only for a little while.
My heart carries two emotions—
One rejoicing for your tomorrow,
The other quietly grieving today's goodbye.
This is what love looks like:
To let go with trembling hands,
To smile through tears,
And to keep believing
That love is stronger than distance.
So when August comes,
I will wave with a smile,
Even if my eyes
Are filled with tears.
Because my love is greater than the distance,
Greater than the loneliness,
Greater than the miles between us.
This is only another chapter—
A chapter that reminds us
That love never weakens with distance.
It only grows stronger,
Until the day
I can hold you both in my arms again.
Until then, my love,
Go chase the future we dreamed of together.
I'll be here—loving you from afar,
Praying for you every day,
Missing you with all my heart,
And waiting for the day
Our family is whole again.
Until then... take my love with you, wherever life leads you. ❤️
