It was 2006 on a sunny morning when I woke up to the sound of music soothing my ears. I was in my car and felt muddled and pondered where I was. As I cleared my eyes, I could see a lonesome, dry road through my window. I was sitting on the back seat looking out my window observing the clouds, waiting to see if we’d stop somewhere.

I told them how much I love them and how much I had missed them as tears ran down my cheeks. I went in my room and laid in my bed and I felt so cozy I didn't want to get up.
