Once again that day is looming Your anniversary is near As my heart skips a beat And my head fills with fear. A fear deep within Bound by guilt, bound by hate As I Stare at the calendar At that last fateful date. A date robbed of love robbed of smiles Robbed of joy Now a date lined with tears For our beloved 'John Boy'. As time counts the hours And days turn into nights (I promise with all my heart John For you I still fight). I miss you so much I say over and over again While minutes turn to days And months into years So I look to the clouds For your presence is there I whisper "I love you and miss you" Through tears. I turn over the calendar, another year becomes the past And my heart skips a beat As the new minutes start. Till we meet again high up in those clouds, know that I love you and your forever in my heart. Rest in Peace Johnny Love always your big sis Laurel ***

The wind up to my little brother's anniversary kills me a little more every year. It will be 6 years the 1st of June, his birthday the 23rd of June. The 31st of May is when my nightmare began and I still fight to have those responsible for his death held accountable, all I have now is a strong belief in karma, and the love for my brother. The 31st of May is also my youngest daughter Angel Leigh's 24th birthday, she has not celebrated since 2020.
