Family

Mother, I miss you too much.
Wishing you were somehow here again.
Wishing you were somehow near.
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed,
Somehow you would be here.
Father, I still use your advice.
Wishing I could hear your voice again.
Knowing that I never would.
Dreaming of you won't help me to do,
All that you dreamed I could.
I'm pretty sure Uncle Elijah is the only living relative that's not like, 6 degrees of separation... Maybe I'm related to Kevin Bacon? Uncle keeps too many secrets, and I don't feel like prying. Love him to bits. Just wish he'd quit smoking.

Tell me a story? And another, and another? It was my first time being tested on the secret handshake. Uncle said he'll help me, more, with that.
How are you not already a model, Cheesecake Pusher? Seriously. Anyways, I'll be back at Images and Dreams sometime soon, I might not be the fairest of them all, but I can stand losing the title to you.
(☎) "You've got to know when to hold 'em. Know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away, and know when to RUN." Uncle got the gambling gene, not I.
Did you seriously snap me out of it by feeding me chicken? No one ever used that technique before.
You let me lure you into the land of fish. Who lets random people lure them out somewhere? You do, Misa Wong and I think it's hysterical. I guess I needed a little adventure. Thanks.
(☎) Ooh, you Clever Girl! I'm so pleased to have met you Nafrit al-Amun. Discendo discimus, oui? I want to see if I can learn as many languages as you. You're an inspiration.
(☎) And so it seems your purgatory has passed, November. Now let's see how well you show up in photographs, Cheekbones. Meanwhile, I can't believe how much you remind me of Uncle..
(☎) I'm glad you waved, Squirrel Whisperer, even though I'm pretty sure you didn't recognize me. It's nice to chat without being asked to quote a commercial I've done. Carpe diem.
