My Aunt Maxine. My Best Friend. I will miss you so much! Until we meet again have fun bickering with Mom. Love you!

I wanted to run
But I couldn't
So I dove into a book
Devouring every word
Soaring over every page
Becoming fully immersed
If not completely lost
in the story
It wasn't mine
But for a while I would pretend that it was
And for a while
I was free to run
Madly in love with my escape

“It’s a library.” said Bear.
