Silence

Two years ago, Hannah, Trevor lived here part time, James lived here - Liz was here often. Wesley was still home. Joshua, William, Tracy and I. I never knew if I were cooking for 9 or 4. The house was chaotic, noisy, but so full of life. The door was constantly opening closing with people coming and going. Now our house is quiet, sad and so full of death. The silence is deafening and I can't stand it.
