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.

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!
