The Writing

  • Making new memories

    I drove home yesterday. You might call me a loser for driving home on Tuesday when I was dropped off here only last Saturday, but I had a very good reason to go home. I knew that if I didn’t go to this wake, I would never believe that he is dead. Now I know Read more
