it was like 3 am and I was walking home from the beach when I passed by the cemetery. I feel compelled to go in, so, I walk over to one of the stones and with a sigh read:  "Layla Maurers 1986-2017  beloved mother, sister, daughter, friend" I sit next to her in the pouring rain and remember another day like this. I was a little girl sitting on her lap as my hair got brushed with my hair poofy from humidity, "I Hate the rain! why can't it just be sunny all the time!" I complained as she applied coconut oil in my hair which she then replied by saying "Jessica, you know you can't enjoy the sun unless you experience the rain" . Now 7 years later I still sit next to her and think "you can't enjoy the sun unless you experience the rain"
