"Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.”
-From 'Great Expectations', by Charles Dickens
It was around this time of day five years ago that I received the worst phone call of my life. No one deserves to die young, but I guess some people are too good for this world. It is a difficult consolation, but Tammy, you are certainly one of those people.
That would prove to be a very significant day for another reason, because I finally got to meet in person someone who had been a great friend from a distance. You helped me make it through that difficult period and all the other things that went wrong soon after, yet nowadays we are broken too. I wish you had decided to do things differently, but you left me no option but to try and move on, as impossible as it is because I loved you like I've never loved anyone. So today remains an extra bittersweet anniversary of sorts because of this.
But in a happier vein, I want to wish my mother a happy birthday. It's not everyone that can raise four children by herself like she did. Through her example I have tried to learn strength that helps me survive every bad thing that comes my way, and Lord knows they're not few. Happy birthday, mamma bear!
