We do not remember days, we remember moments.<br /> Expect the unexpected.<br /> Life will always through you curves. Just keep fouling them off. The right pitch will come. And when it does, be prepared to run the bases.

If you were here,
I’d wrap you tightly in my arms
And never let you go.
If you were here,
I’d look into your beautiful eyes
And count all their colors.
If you were here,
I’d tell you my best jokes
Just to see you smile.
If you were here,
I wouldn’t miss you like I do now.
Watching the rain fall
Making me think of you.
If you were here,
I’d be with you right now
But you’re not here.
