i played the keys in the sky in hopes you would hear me. i laid out notecards of things that would make you proud of me, all in order, all for you. your voice will always sound like the sun, whether it be on the hottest day in texas or it be on a beautiful autumn day. i know that since your presence in my dreams is gone now too, you're finally up there. all light and peace and happiness, living without fear or anxiety or sadness. just visit now and then okay? do you promise to change streetlights that aqua pearl color again? do you promise to make yourself near enough to feel your energy as a hug when we need it? i read in books that it's really nice up there. let my little brother hold your hand, let my grandmother make you food. please be happy up there.
