My new book- Dear Summer

“I noticed the ice had already begun to form on my kitchen window. Everything else was white as far as the eye can see. It’s another one of those cold winter mornings. I’m warm from where I sit but I won’t be for long. Pretty soon it will be time to go out and head to work. Despite this fact, something keeps me sitting here just a little bit longer. Maybe it’s the thought of digging through the snow and driving on the slippery road that makes me stay. Then again, maybe it’s not. It’s days like this that make winter time an eternity and summer just a myth told by parents to their children to keep them warm in their beds as they lay down to sleep at night. When I was younger, summer was my favorite time of the year. Days seemed to last longer and the essence of carefree youth was so alive. Now, it seems more like a reminder of something that I lost at one time in my life. Summers were never the same for me after the summer I met Analise. Sometimes I still imagine her standing there, staring at me with crystal tear drops that make her eyes look like glass and her skin look like porcelain. Then a modest smile would shine through trying desperately to mask her sadness. She always smiled as if her lips never knew how to do anything else.”
