yum...sandwiches

The hot yellow mildly conceiled sun warmed the big blue ball that circles around the sun, also know as earth. I sat eating my crunchy penut butter and strawberry jelly sandwich. As I bit into the soft white bread I noticed a white bird with two wings, two feet, two eyes, one beak and lots of feathers. The partially cloudy day made this fine fall day the perfect tempurature (73 degrees) to wear a light jacket. My jacket was blue with black stripes on the sides. I love crunchy jiff penut butter and Strawberry jelly sandwiches on these mildly warm slightly breezy days.good stuff, good stuff.

I knew I would never be the same

The day was dark and dreary. The sun was out but it's light did not show in our hearts. We were destroyed, we were sick, we were scared. All we wanted to do was run away. I wore black, we all wore black.The black still coats my heart as if it is still today. On that day we lowered her into the ground. We said our farewells. We cried. We all cried. Everyone I ever cared to know. Everyone I have ever loved. Everyone was destroyed. Everything was dark.

The tears streamed from our eyes. The men, men i've known all of my life. standing silently crying, waiting for her to stand up and tell them "it's ok".

The death of me, the horror that no child should ever have to endure. My mother, trying to confort the chaos that my great grandma was going through. No one should have to see their child die. They sat, weaping together. I stood, trying to be a man, trying to be strong. failing misserably. My heart died on that day. My world collapsed. My family wondered away. Nothing was as it seemed.

Everything was black.
