"We little knew the day that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories. Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again."

A very long time ago, I crossed paths with a young man who made me pause in my step. It was entirely his fault, by the way. If he hadn't bickered with me the way my grandparents bickered with each other, I would have felt no tie to it at all. Will is special to me in a way that I can never explain to another person. To this day, he is everything I wish I had found on earth for this life. Missing him is a strange what-if that will never be answered. All I know is I'm still here, thinking of him and writing this... grief is strange that way. I really hope that next time around we get to see the happy ending together. Still miss you........
