Holidays aren\'t the same anymore.
The Christmas lights don\'t have that twinkle that they had before as a child. The house is quiet and christmas cheer is something unheard of.
See, when all your elders pass away, it seems as if the glue that once kept the family together has lost its stick.
What once was tight knit is now ripped and torn to shreds--strands and strings loosely hanging about--and we\'re supposed to sow and put it back together like nothing ever happened and that it will all be okay.
And I know that it will be, it\'s just that I\'m not that great at sowing.
