"Dad has been gone eight years this Friday, Lilah. I miss him so much I don't even know how to breathe." My dad died when I was ten years old, just two weeks after my birthday. Everything about me has parts of him in it. "Oh my god it's that long already? I miss him too Alex. I'll be with you on Friday, I promise."]]> 2017-11-07 18:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/laura_desena/w7lu76wrt6vi/wish/204500484 https://padlet.com/laura_desena/w7lu76wrt6vi/wish/204500797 There was an eerie presence in the room. It felt as though someone was going to reach out and touch me.
