It's funny what you miss. Currently, it's her voice.

But I persist.

Best to everyone here at the wonderful DU community.

The only easy day was yesterday.

He’s still here, though. He can’t leave till it’s time to take me with him. I was afraid in the beginning of losing him but as the years went on, I found out that he never really went away.

Tomorrow will be easier.
