To My Soup Friends

all my troubles came to a head today when they sent me home before work was over. when i got my truck to the yard my sister was waiting. all i knew was that she had a name and when she got to me that name was April. they found her she had been dead sence thursday. i was the last to speak to her. and all this time i thought i had been abandoned. all of my thought today were of her. i played one song over and over. it tore me asunder. and all the prayers that i said for her; ever sence then. i'm kind of numb now but when she told me i screamed for a long time. and now it's time to cope. pray for her family and me. i was in love with her. john
