“I feel like a troll,” I reply, trying to unfasten the top button of my shirt.“You look so handsome, Daulton, stop fussing.”“You know I hate wearing this shit,” I respond, turning to face her.“Just for one day. Let me look at you and marvel at the man you’ve become,” she says with a smile, swatting my hand away from my shirt.“Thanks, Aunt Kellie, I couldn’t have done this without you,” I remark, pulling her into my arms for a tight squeeze.She steps back and reaches to pull a tissue out of the box on my dresser. Starting to dab at her eyes, a sob escapes her lips.“Don’t cry, Aunt Kellie, it’s just graduation.”“It’s a big deal to me, Daulton. It feels like just yesterday I brought you here to live with me. You know how proud your mama would be.”Pulling her into my arms, I hold her while she begins to sob. A sudden pain hits me in the chest. I miss Mama more and more every day, and the fact that she isn’t here with us today is hard. It’s been eight years since she’s been gone.
