1999?

Premium Member Thanksgiving 1999 Thanks
Sometimes it’s hard to choose one memory to deem the most significant of all. Thanksgiving, though, is different. I find that one by far is sweetest to recall. Thanksgiving 1999 would be the final holiday we all would share. We feasted, talked, and dozed all afternoon. The next year, there would be one empty chair. Our dying father wouldn’t make it through the holidays....

Party In 1999
Back there again in 1999. Best friends living up the sweet time. Spray painting our names on the wall. We were sure we'd never see an end to it all. Having a good time and nothing else there. Troubled times and we didn't even care. Young and restless as we all are. We grabbed onto life and rode it so far. All our...

Memories June 9 1999
The touches, tears and cries for help, a child living in fear. Being told never to tell a soul, to ashamed to look in the mirror. Not being able to trust anyone, because of being betrayed. Now haunted by what has been done, praying the memories will fade. Surrounded by many shattered dreams and all hope taken away. Drowning in...
