Well, it’s been a journey from August 5, 2017 to now. My world was turned upside down on that date, finding out my best friend/dad was murdered. That day it felt like everything was taken from me.
It’ll be four years in August without my dad, and it’s never easy. However, being around those who have felt a similar pain, you feel more like yourself; you don’t feel like you are making others uncomfortable talking about your loved one.
As I look in the mirror I see our Twin face.
It happens everyday in the very same place.
I still have to drive pass the place you were killed.
Each time I have to, I turn my head away and get dowsed with chills.
