Holidays are Challenging

You've been on my mind lately.


I am going to assume it's because I haven't written in awhile.


I've been avoiding things that remind me of you.


I've been trying to keep my emotions in check.

Painted pumpkins at Girl's Night.

I still haven't been able to watch NCIS.


I quickly changed the channel.


However, I have been watching Family Feud lately.


I know this is something you would be doing too.


It's like we're doing it together.


Laughing at Steve Harvey just like I am.


I had a dream the other night and it made me feel like we left something in the house.


Something I need to go back and get.


I know we emptied the house to the point of nothing being left behind.


There has to be a reason why I had that dream.


I began to get upset when I was booking my holiday travel for Thanksgiving.

I used to call you and talk through details.


This time, I text Auntie and Karolyn.


It's not that is was a bad thing, but an unusual thing I have to get used to.


I think about how different Thanksgiving will be, and I am not excited.


I know it'll be difficult for not only me, but for everyone else too.


There may be times I may need to remove myself because I am not able to keep my feelings in check.


I guess I have come to terms with knowing you are in a better place baking with Nana.


Not having a care in the world.

The holidays are challenging.


The other day was Sweetest Day and I was waiting for a message from you.


"Happy Sweetest Day, Sweetheart!"


You're the only one that said that to me.


Honestly, I didn't know it existed before you.


Please continue to watch over me.


I keep a rose in my car, so you can protect me.


I keep your ID and know your watching me.


I keep the bookmark out to remember words you would say to me.


I love you too!
