To one of the greatest people, I've ever met, almost every day I wish that you had never left.

I know the saying goes that you're in a better place, but that doesn't mean I don't want to see your face.

I can't help but think about you all the time, I miss the days of us in our prime.

Sometimes I swear that I see your face in the clouds, and I think of when we stood together in crowds.

No matter who was near, you were always by my side and you were always around to take a ride.

I can't help but wonder why it was you, I'm sure no one else would make me this blue.

But that's not fair for me to wish, to think that your life was worth more would be foolish.

I can't beg for someone else to be taken instead, that would just mean someone else's family is dead.

I know that I have to try to let you go, but every day, I'll still love you, I hope you know.

I hope you can still remember us, if not, maybe your memory will adjust.

I wish no sorrow or worry anymore, that in the afterlife is uncalled for.

Begging some greater power to bring you back would just make my heart feel really black.

I can't pretend that my pain has decreased, but I know that your pain has finally ceased.

I just pray that our memories won't be forgotten; that's one thing that would make me feel rotten.

I don't know where your soul has traveled now, I'm not sure if heaven is real anyhow.

Wherever you've decided to rest in peace, your legacy of greatness will never cease.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
