“I didn’t think I’d ever step foot in here, but it’s so peaceful.” She swivels her head toward me, that serenity she speaks of so easily eminent in her relaxed posture. “But it still hurts to be here.”
“I think it’s going to hurt for a long time, babe.”
Together, we cross the sturdy bridge. “The wooden planks have a saying on them.”
We stop in the center to read the words. She does because I’m not strong enough to put a voice to them. “Think of them with a beating heart because they will always live inside you.”
“I told myself I wasn’t going to cry,” she says with a sniffle.
The ball in my throat keeps me from speaking.
We reach the name “Tyler Xavier Dalton.” Her small fingers brush against the hard cement. She takes the last sticky note with the ‘one’ written on it and sticks it to the headstone. “You will always be the one thing I remember most.”

About the Author
Sonya’s a nerd—a cool nerd—who loves science, books, make-up and unicorns. She even has unicorn slippers and unicorn plushes adorn her office. It’s not an obsession (or so she says), it’s simply an ode to her imaginative side. Storytelling has been her passion since her youth, but her family believes it's more than that.
Though she's fun-loving, complex-minded, and heart-driven, her philosophy on life is quite simple: Shit happens. Keep going.
When asked to elaborate, she said, "Believing in yourself is probably one of the hardest things to do, but look in the mirror. You're still standing. That's strength. Don't underestimate yourself."
Sonya also believes in fairytales and in the beautiful things a mind can conjure. She’s a firm believer in empowering the crazy fictional ideas, putting them down on paper, and letting them flourish into a story.
