To Those Who've Lost a Companion This Year
It never gets easier...
This coming year, February, will be the anniversary of the death of my best friend. A girl who would have sacrificed her life for me or my family, my guardian angel, my lucky star, Baby Bita.
A midnight black Belgian Malinois, cute as a button as a pup and magnificently beautiful full-grown.
There are no words to describe the pain of losing an animal companion. Most of us who had an animal own us would know these words. Their absence leaves a void in our home and our heart that it's truly irreplaceable. Nothing can compare as they never said a word and never had to.
We’ll never forget them. I'll never forget you.
So, this coming year, I'll honor your departure from this realm and will have you on my mind until we meet again, as they say, “Over the Rainbow Bridge.”
I love you.

Rene Volpi
I'm from Italy and write every day. Being a storyteller by nature, I've entertained (and annoyed) people with my "expositions" since I was a child, showing everyone my primitive drawings, doodles, and poems. Still do! Leave me a comment :)

Seeds of Tomorrow
In the heart of what was once a sprawling metropolis now lay the flourishing city of Arcadia, a beacon of hope and sustainability in a world scarred by environmental degradation. Towering skyscrapers, adorned with lush vertical gardens, reached towards the azure sky, while vibrant greenery carpeted the streets below. Solar panels and wind turbines adorned rooftops, harnessing the sun and wind to power the city's gleaming infrastructure.

Remembering the rink
If you were there, you’ll never forget it. For decades, Durham Ice Rink was at the heart of the city’s social life. From Friday night ice discos to crowds roaring on the Wasps every Sunday, not to mention a proud history of figure skating and speed skating, the riverside rink was the place to be.
