Hello, I'm currently residing in a rural area with limited internet access. I rely on my prepaid data plan to stay connected, and I'm running low on data. As a result, I'll be temporarily unavailable until I can replenish my data or access a stable WiFi connection. Thank you for your understanding!
We gathered beneath the sun's warm rays,
Excitement buzzing, joyous days,
A family reunion, long overdue,
A time to reconnect, and make anew.
But fate, it seemed it had other plans,
A cruel twist, a devastating hand,
A car crash, a scream, a shattered dream,
Two precious lives, lost in a heartbeat's scheme.
Our siblings, dear, with futures bright,
Gone in an instant, without a fight,
The holiday cheer, now turned to pain,
A darkness fell, a sorrowful refrain.
The laughter ceased, the smiles faded away,
As grief and shock, took their place to stay,
The sun hid its face, the sky turned gray,
A somber mood, a heart-wrenching day.
We weep and wail, in disbelief and pain,
Our joyous gathering, now a sorrowful refrain,
A holiday, that turned to ashes cold,
A memory, forever to be told.
