I will always remember

It was April 20th, 2009, a day I will forever remember. I was in the normal routine of mine, unforgotten birthday in November. I will always remember. Two years, five months, and thirteen days that day, but one loaded gun took it all away from me. With the things I planned we were on our way, but God knows how it is supposed to be. I will always remember. Alexis, my niece, my one and only, I loved the way you laughed, the way you cried. The way you paid attention so closely, Afterwards, my anxiety untied. I will always remember. I was just going through the motions, at both the funeral and the showing. As if I needed my life in captions, you were so beautiful, you were glowing. I will always remember. Now it has been four long years, and I continue to say, I will always remember.
