A Shade of Ash # 6 – Why does the happiest day of my life keep breaking my heart?

Ash Douglas #amwriting, blog, healing, Moments May 21, 2020May 21, 2020 1 Minute

I tried again today as I have tried so many times since the last heartstring that bound us severed. For a split-second, I got to hear your voice. For a split-second, I thought you would listen to mine. It was the longest pause yet…trust me, I know.

So, Ashton, I guess it’s another “Happy Birthday” sent off into the universe with all my love. Maybe it will find the world I’ve lost and help return it to me.

– Dad xoxo

:((( It must be hard on days like this one.
Happy Birthday to her.
May you get to celebrate it together in the future. I bet the happiness can be doubled that way.
