Death

Michael, it has been far too long. And for that, I sincerely apologize. I also apologize for what I am about to tell you. My life, our life, has been plagued with another death. Elliott, one of your good friends from high school, has died.

Upon hearing this news, my reaction was unexpected yet predictable. I am once again burdened with my decision. I made a choice in the water that fateful day and I am still unsure if it was the right one.

Envy and guilt have consumed my being. For I wish I was strong enough to finally meet you in heaven. However, I cannot. Knowing everyone on this earth who still needs me, I feel the guilt of still wanting that. But I feel envious of all that we have known who have died because I know that they are with you while I am still stuck on this earth, alone.

...funny how death makes you second guess everything.

No fears and limitless, MHF
