March 27th Around the World

It is just like any other days to most of the millions of people around the world, but to me, it was the day that I lost my son, and my very best friend in the entire world. It was the day, my food stopped tasting, the same. It was the day, the earth seemed to stop turning on its axis.

It has a special meaning to me and my family. It was the day, someone special became an angel, and left us forever.

Eleven Years Ago

As I am typing this, it is 11:18 pm,, there isn’t much left in the day or evening, of March 26, 2026. It will be tomorrow, and it will also be the anniversary of my precious son’s death.

The day the universe stopped turning. The day the sky ceased to have the same beautiful color blue. The day the rivers began to run backward, because my heart was spilling blood. They say blood is thicker than water, and with that the rivers and seas and streams seemed to run in a backward direction at 11:20 pm, on 2015.

The rainbows were no longer as pretty in colors, and I liked rainbows before, and I keep reminding myself that Rick would have wanted me to go on living.
