One never thinks that they will long for the days when the family all gathered together and spent time laughing and joking. Sharing memories and shocking their parent(s).

If only to hear their laughter and silly banter again, so to refill my empty and lonely cup. They have all moved forward some doing good while others still struggle through the lifestyle they decided aimlessly to choose.

Before I leave this planet, I pray they see the only thing in this life I need is for them all to gather again around the harsh with me. To show each other how much better they have become, to laugh and banter so my soul can be set free at last to my finale resting place.
