Vegas with Luna and Sezar in our hearts
I thought I woke up on Christmas Day, only to find myself being choked in what I guess is sleep paralysis. Everything was in color, except for the man who was void of any color, almost as if I was seeing him in black and white. He stood at the foot of my bed with…

Another visit from the reaper
My uncle passed away the day we buried my grandmother, a year after his twin passed away. They were both amazing people who lived incredible lives. My aunt, the twin, was a carpenter and built their homes, one in Long Island and another in Connecticut. Both were born female, but one lived as a lesbian…

Remember Me?
When I die I wonder how much of an imprint I would leave in this world. My grandmother’s funeral is on Monday and I wonder who will be there. I’m not very popular and am lucky if I get any likes from any posts. I doubt many people will even notice if I just disappear.…

Haley follows George
2021 is supposed to be the year of hope and change, the year we finally rid ourselves of the tyrant, the year of positive change, but even so, it has been a year met with more death and grief. My mom was furious and in denial that Haley, our family Carolina dog and George’s partner…

Thin Veil
When George died, my grandmother said she saw a dog in her room. She rambled on and on about the dog in her room for days. It’s a strange coincidence that she brought that all up after George died. There was no way she would have heard about his death from us. She was hard…

Death still on my mind
When I was four I busted my head on the sharp edge of an oak coffee table while I was riding my toy horse with wheels on the couch. I recall seeing my mom in bell bottoms and long hair walking through a doorway bead curtain and screaming. You’ll think I’m crazy, but I remember…

Goodbye George
Dreaming of him I saw his face As I cried out of my sleep Into a morning storm And I texted my sister And asked what was happening And she confirmed what I felt to be true His passing passed over me like a ghost As I had prayed to god and the universe to…
