I told you I'd never...

forget you, and I meant it.

Tonight, I was on the phone arranging payment to the lawyer, still working hard to settle your estate. Their firm is in the same town that you lived in. The area code is the same for them as it was for you. I started to dial their number... 5 1 2.... 8 4 7.... and out of sheer habit, even after all this time, my fingers punched in the rest of your phone number. As soon as I dialed it, I knew it wasn't the number that I meant to dial. I thought for a split second, and then realized that it was in fact your number. I quickly hung up - and let a couple of tears fall before I redialed the lawyer's office.

While waiting for them to answer, I looked up and saw a picture of your smiling face staring back at me. Coincidence? Or were you with me?

I will NEVER forget you. <3
