Some days it seems as if the world turns a little slower without you in it

Today is just one of those days where I expect a phone call. “I hear the roads up there are icy” you would say, “drive careful. Did you watch the Spurs game last night? Can you believe what your papa did? Jayden had three helpings of my spaghetti, can you believe it? Are you coming home for spring break? You wouldn’t believe who I saw at Walmart…” And then you would rush to get off the phone in the middle of a story that I was certain I would never hear the moral of, but not without first saying “Love ya.” In the way that only your accent could.
