Flames engulfed the candles.
The cake was decorated with beach and sandals.
Your two favorite things…
This and when the church bells would ring.
Today you would have turned twenty-three.
This was something you always could not wait to see.
The service this morning was not the same.
Especially when they say your name.
In remembrance.
Tears began to fall like rain.
Even after all these months, the pain...
Is excruciating.
Happy Birthday

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
