  I have been sitting in this wild flower field for a few hours now and I bet that everyone is worried but right now I don't care. I'm in my own little world at the moment. I'm sitting along side Dunny's grave making a flower chain out of wild daisies. Whisper is grazing peacefully beside me. Why he brought me here is still a mystery. But I don't mind. I thought that coming here would bring back memories but I feel at ease. But I'm starving because of the fact that I haven't eaten since Dunny got sick. I decided to go back to the house. When I get there I go straight to the kitchen. I sneak in knowing that Carter and Taylor are napping. But when I enter I also hear my grandparents whispering fairly quiet. Just thinking that they are being quiet for the sake of my siblings, I go to the kitchen. Still being quiet I can hear them better. They are talking to Megan about going down to South Carolina. I keep listening and I get some of it. The only words that I hear are Jaylynn, horse, sad, happy, and depression state. I freeze. Then casually walk into the kitchen making it appear that I hadn't just ease dropped on their conversation. They immediately stop talking. I grab some granola bars, an apple, and some trail mix. I go out to the barn and tack up Whisper. We're going riding!

I will try to update regularly but I can't be positive what with my very busy schedule of basketball, school, and horses. Thanks for reading!
