The Journey to Death

December 12, 2013 by Jen 7 Comments

Those Eyes.

June 28, 2011 by Jen

The strangest thing happened to me today. I was meeting my uncle, my mom's younger brother, for coffee. It had been a while since I had seen him, maybe even the two years since my mom died, I'm not sure. A while.
