sometimes in life, things happen that you never dreamed of. and it’s in those moments that you gotta stop and wonder if you weren’t dreaming the wrong things all along.

Thanksgiving

We had an intimate Thanksgiving this year. We didn’t even go to my grandmother’s house. My mom made the dressing…in a crockpot. It was good, it just wasn’t the same. My brother brought a friend from school- an Ethopian kid named Hirbo. It was really nice to have a visitor. It was pretty evident that we all had something weighing heavily on our hearts. Someone was missing. Today just wasn’t the same. We didn’t talk about it, but we were all thinking about him. I’m all for skipping Christmas this year. My mom & I agreed that Christmas would be best spent somewhere far, far away with no Santa, no tree, no presents…nothing. I think we just want peace of mind, but that will only come with time, I’m sure.

On a completely superficial note, I was lonely today. How long will it take to find love? Not only to find it, but to actually hang on to it? Le sigh.

Happy Thanksgiving, tumblr world. Even when it doesn’t seem like it, we have a lot to be thankful for. A lot, a lot.

love you more than ever, carlz. thinking about you guys during the holidays, and really, always.

I don’t talk about it. Ever. It’s still way too hard. Death is a concept I’m still having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around. The fact that someone who was a major part of my life is now gone forever is something that I can’t seem to fathom. I think about him every day. Too often I’ll read or hear something and think to myself “I gotta remember to tell Uncle Mike about that.” And then I remember. And it hurts so much to remember. It feels like I have a million billion bricks sitting on top of my chest. All i can do is weep silently and miss him so much my body aches. The weirdest things remind me of him. Crunchy peanut butter and Ritz crackers trigger memories of the many afternoons I’d see him sitting at the kitchen table fixing a post-school snack. I remember his hands. He had wonderfully long fingers, which no doubt made him the fabulous pianist that he was. I hope I never forget what they look like. I think that’s what I’m the most afraid of - forgetting. I’m desperately clinging on to every single memory I have of him and keeping them close to my heart.

write them down in a journal. even if they seem irrelevant, write them down, because while time erases the pain, it also erases some of the details and special things you remember about him. that’s been my experience anyway. if you really want to remember the little things, writing them down is the best way to hold on to him, and to heal a little in the process. love you, carlz.
