​It's the last day of May! And I love today's prompt: future. I love the idea of looking forward after a month of often looking backwards to reflect on how I got to where we are now. So what exactly does our future look like? If I've learned anything, it's that I guess no one ever really knows. You can hope. And you can plan. But the future is unknown to us. Maybe we'll have more children. Maybe we won't. Maybe we'll move somewhere tropical and make our living selling fruit at a beach fruit stand. Maybe there's more trouble and hardship waiting for us. We can't know. I don't want to. I just want to walk forward into whatever future is waiting for us, together. With my family. With Ryan at the centre of it. Because all I REALLY know about the future, is that I have no future that does not involve him. That does not involve missing him. Thinking about him. Acknowledging him. He is part of my past. He is with me every day. And he is certainly coming with me into my future.

Lyrics:
When the mountain sinks away into the desert sand
When the ocean swallows up the city streets
When the morning sun forgets to rise and the sky's no longer blue
Honey, that's when I'll quit missing you

When that shot glass on the shelf don't remind me of
All the good times and bad ones too
When I forgive myself for all I did and didn't do
Honey, that's when I'll quit missing you

When all the stars burn to dark and fall
Will I forget your name as the years go by
When memories start to fade as memories do
I may regret forever, what I know I had to lose

That don't mean I won't be missing you
That don't mean I won't be missing you
