As the temperature grows colder the hole in my heart becomes more dominant.
It had gone dormant during the warm months.
As the nip in the air gets just a little nippier the wrench in my gut gets harder.
It had loosened up a bit during the summer.
As winter draws near the feeling of loss grows deeper.
It had almost floated away with all the sunshine.
A year has almost come and gone without you in this world. A year I never thought I would have to ever endure until I was a lot older, wiser.
A year has almost come and gone without your laughter. A year I never thought would never be without it.
A year has almost come and gone without your faith. A year I thought I would lose mine.
A year has almost come and gone without your crazy. A year I thought I was becoming crazy myself.
The next few years will be harder and harder as the memories fade. As your laughter in them becomes quieter and quieter.
The next few years will grow even sadder as your spirit fly’s further and further into eternal happiness.
The next few years will be a constant struggle to remain happy because we will know that you are not able to join in our happiness.
Ten years from now we will look back, having forgotten most of the memories we hare clutching to in present day.
Ten years from now we will have better masks to hide our sadness from everyone but ourselves.
Ten years from now you will still not be forgotten, even if most of our memories have faded to mere thoughts.
You will always have a home in our hearts no matter how many years pass between us seeing you.
You will always be remembered even if every detail may not be.
You will always have a legacy as long as our families continue to grow.

Sorry I haven’t really been on, school work piled up a little and my house had been like a madhouse
