Shouldn't Have You

I’ve been many things in my life: daughter, friend, student, lover, wife…and now, widow.

Getting past those labels and finding who I could be without them was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Then I became friends with Brendon Connolly.

Every time I look at him, I see a past, I see a present, and I’m afraid if I look too hard, I’ll see a future.
