Back To Forgetting

Sarah.
Is today really her birthday?
Yes it is. I remember now.
[I click on her page.]
Before today the last wall post was April 17th.
That's a long time.
I wonder if it'll take 3 years before someone goes a month without writing on Michael's wall.
Michael.
[I go to his page.]
Look at all the people who remember him.
They remember him enough to write on his wall.
And his family, Oh.
I really should pray for them more often.
It still doesn't feel real.
I wonder what he would say about all the anxiety I have.
Seems like he's still alive.
I still can't believe he's dead.
Looks like people are going back to Japan.
He really enjoyed his time there
I remember talking to him about my Scotland trip.
He begged me to go to Japan instead.
I kinda wish I'd gone.
Oh well.
Oh. I've read these already.
The ones about graduation.
I still can't believe his family went.
I wonder how that must have felt.
I cannot imagine.

[Then the oven goes off and I turn on the TV before putting my food in. Now my mind is back to the unimportant things in life. Now I'm back to forgetting.]
