remember? I hear you at the oddest times and your face comes to me in my dreams I smile as I see you you clutched your chest and sang a high soprano, the vibrato wavering as I bent over in laughter and you mocked mom's opera how did you grow those gargantuan breasts that I saw in your body language as your eyes laughed back at me remember? all the crooked braids I wore to school because you knew how to braid and I didn't. and the time you pulled the tail off my loved stuffed fox.I still have him but I don't have you do you think the fox had the last laugh or do you think he misses you like I do? remember? tents made in the dark, sharing candy, sneaking comic books for lazy Sundays and racing our bikes faster, faster, fastest. you were afraid of the dark, and I bravely walked with you outside at night to get wood but no one walked me, wanna know a secret? I was afraid too. but the hold over you was greater than the fear. remember? drifting apart and growing up we stopped sharing stolen cigarettes and secrets that made us giggle instead moving on to less fun things like responsibility.Well, you did. I swore never to grow up and I have tried hard not to. you shot a fireweed at me, it arced under the sun like a spear covered in delicate pink blossoms and you grinned ~ I love you ~ you said and you were gone. remember? I refuse to think those were the last words I’ll see you again and until then I will remember. aziza |

filled with visuals that took me by the hand and pulled me right into a walk in your shoes. Very well done. |

I want to make my mom and her sister read this. So many stories they have both told me about such a great childghood together- Now they don't speak. I think everyone needs to remember those people who really meant and mean the most in their lives. Beautful...full of truth and sadness, but truly beautiful. |
