Name

by zackripley

If heaven gains an angel every time a loved one is taken, does a devil ever take their place? It sure seems like it in the midst of pain and grief. And if there is one, knowing that time is the closest thing to an exorcism doesn't offer much relief. But there is still hope. It will still hurt. And it will never be the same. But you can keep the devil at bay and their story alive by letting yourself remember them and their love for you every time you say their name.
