There are bonds that can’t be broken. History spans times farther than us, but there are no I’s in it without us. Just a bookmark where we left off. Picking it up & finishing the story. I told her I would always fold the page so I would forget I already read it. She was in that way – the way in which a story just gets better with time. One worth reading again and again. It wasn’t a good novel without a tragedy. Ours like a reckoning of a hurricane and tornado colliding. One made for land & the other sea. She was grounded in the ways I would never come to know of. Split people like an earthquake beckoning for their essence to emerge. I loved her that. & I always will. *Page Folded – Chapter 1
