Happy Birthday, sister. I miss you.

Life is too short not to tell those you care about what they mean to you.  I never took the chance on more than one occasion and live with the regret that my family - those I've lost - never knew.  Of recent, I was too damn afraid to tell a friend how much they meant to me and the impact they had on my life.  It was such a strange thing but I'll hold onto it and learn from it, I guess.  Maybe one day I'll figure things out :)

....

The road ahead of me is not paved

It’s full of pot holes and I have no map

I have a good sense of direction, however,

And will use this to my advantage as I weave through

still

I see you... and mixed emotions sit upon my chest. I can't breathe.
