Hey, Buddy. It’s still hard to believe you’re gone, even after all this time. So much has happened since… then that I like to think you can see it. I have to, because that’s what gets me through the days. And that’s what has gotten me through.Your mom is better, as I hope you know. I hear her talking to you when she doesn’t know I’m there.

His red husky, Blaze, waited for him by the refrigerator, tail wagging.“Alright, you spoiled little baby girl,” Jake teased. “I’ll get you your cheese.” He grabbed his creamer and Blaze’s favorite treat from the fridge. She sat patiently, tail wagging, as he handed her a piece of American cheese. With delicate grace, she accepted it and trotted happily out of the kitchen. Jack chuckled, shook his head, and finis...

YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT YOUR DESTINATION “In 100 feet, turn right,” the robotic female voice announced through the car’s speakers. Heather checked her side mirror, rearview mirror, turned on her right turn signal and eased into the right lane although there were no other cars on the road. The driving app still said she was only twelve minutes away. It felt like she was driving forever. She was getting drowsy and needed to stretch soon. She turned right.  ...

LENNY WAS RIGHT Max was used to people walking past him without paying him any notice. Eclipse day wouldn’t be any different. The streets were more crowded than usual and Lenny, his best friend who lived one alley over, told him that everyone would probably take off of work to watch the eclipse. “It’s either gonna be a slow day or we’re gonna end up millionaires.
