remember.

How could I have let this slip my mind...

This explains my small bout of listless brooding.

A year has past already since you left our side for someplace better.

I survived. A year without you.

Without your careful guidance.

Without your boundless love.

A painful wretched year... where everything fell apart without you.

I did my best in keeping everyone together, but I was too busy to notice that I was falling and breaking into pieces.

At this point, I've done all that I can humanly do for them. Please understand.

I did everything you taught me to do. I need your guidance more than anything right now.

I wish... I could be where you are right now. There are so many things that I want to talk to you about... so many questions that I want to ask you.

I miss you so much. There isn't a day that goes by where you don't cross my mind.

You were the only one who truly cared about me... Who truly loved me out of even my own parents...

Once again, I'm all alone. But, I understand that I must be strong and carry on... without you.

I hope you are indeed at peace right now. You... of all people truly deserve that happiness.
