The Call that Changed My Life, Forever

Today marks one year that I got that phone call from Auntie.

It's the last phone call I expected to get.

But it's the one that changed my life forever.

Never did I expect that I would be laying you to rest this early.

There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about you.

There are days I want to call you and tell you all that's on my mind.

I don't think I've fully come to terms with this new reality.

I know you're sitting next to me, but it's a hard concept to accept.

I've found myself very reserved lately and I don't think people understand.

Auntie wants to go see the whole world and I want to just be, out of Trotwood.

I begin to feel nostalgic and get emotional.

Everything has a story and everything has a memory.

I guess it's just really hard to relive all of these things without you.

I hope the choices I make, continue to make you proud.

I heard over and over again about how proud I made you.

My only purpose is to continue.

7 Layer Cookie

I'm sure you are Nana are cheffing something up for Easter.

7 Layer Cookies?

Pound Cake?

If you can, save me some and bring it when you visit again.

It's been awhile.
