When you talk to your kids about drugs and alcohol, feel free to tell them that you know a lady that will always carry the heart of her brother, a boy that didn't see past 20 because he never thought those things happened until they did. They didn't talk about that sort of thing in their family until it was well past late. Of course, maybe it would have happened even if they had, but no one will ever know. And sadly, no one in his family will ever really talk about it all because his family shattered into hundreds of unrecognizable pieces and drifted away.
A ripple upon a ripple that built into a wave and washed it all away. And now, she tells that boy every single birthday and anniversary to remember to save her a seat.
Happy 30th.
