Just Wanted to say Hi…

Hi guys I know I haven't been on in a while. I've been pretty busy with school, studying for my midterm and as usual, taking care of my family. Aside from all that though, I've been feeling really anxious. Every day my heart is pounding 100 mph and I feel a bit shaky. I've been…

Going through my phone's contacts, I accidentally came across your name and number. I can no longer try to call or text, you, because you are no longer with us.  God, the sadness I now feel is palpable.  When will things feel right again?  When will the tears subside?  When will I be able to…
