The Moon
My first night without you, Aidan, and I thought of you every single second. I miss having you near me, talking to me, smiling at me, mooching me. I drove home from dinner and the moon was lighting my way. It was so big, so bright and so close to me, that I felt like it was close to you too. Maybe we were both looking at the moon at the same time. Its glow painting the sky for you in New Hampshire and for me in California. I am counting down the days until I can hold you in my arms again and feel your head snuggle on my shoulder…your arms swing around and pat my back…your warm baby breath on my neck.
