12|5|15

I always thought that funerals were tied up to retirement and old age
That desensitization would happen when we were all older and wiser and had a couple of grandkids on our lap
I always believed in hope and friends and kindness
And choosing to stay


But darling, the funerals have come early
And news comes almost routinely
We're only children, darling.
We're only children and we're dying..
I still believe in hope and friends and kindness
But its hard
And sometimes choosing to stay is at the end of our list of "to do" 


I'm so sorry, tori. I wish I could have eased the pain. I hope you have found rest in heaven. I hope you know I still love you..
