Things Change (jack gilinsky story)

When someone you love dies, people ask you how your doing, but they don't really want to know. They seek affirmation that your okay, that you appreciate their concern, that life goes on and so can they. They don't know you'll never eat birthday cake because you don't want to erase the magical taste of the frosting on his lips. That you wake up everyday wondering why you got to live and he didn't. That on the first afternoon of your first vacation, you sit in the living room giving him a sign that your okay.
