She’s been dead for years, but I haven’t taken her number out of my phone. It feels wrong. It just... feels to real? Does that sound crazy?

I can stop and talk to the tree where I buried her on my way home from work, and cry as much as I want. I can tell my therapist that I’ve mourned her and moved on; but when the thought crosses my mind to remove her from my phone I get a heavy, sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

It’s like I’m erasing her just by even thinking about it.

Don’t get me wrong, I know that I’m not. Like, it’s clear to me that her name and picture and her old phone number existing in my phone have nothing to do with whether or not she is dead. Me keeping her in my phone until I’m an old woman won’t undo the repeated blunt force strikes to her head.

My desire to change the past is utterly inadequate. Time is frustrating like that.

I can’t do anything about the way that it sounded when the heavy homemade candle smashed her head, and how the dozens of fabric samples soaked up the blood. The flowers I plant around the tree seem to really thrive in the nutrient-rich soil; so I’ve taken to flower pressing lately.

None of us were blocking the way for people to get by. Then when we got up to the other register, we asked if you price matched your website and the second cashier very rudely said no. Why can we pick it up for store pick up for the price online but you won’t let us get it while we are there? That is just stupid. I completely understand being stressed out and overwhelmed working in the retail business during the holidays. I have been in their shoes. But you don’t have to be that rude. If you are unhappy with your job maybe you should get a...

This is a wonderful place. My friend and I went there the other night and we arrived just before closing time. Despite our late arrival the staff were friendly and willing to help us find what she wanted. They even brought our cart up to the register and started ringing up the stuff so the register didn't close out because it was already a few minutes after closing. This store offers a wide selection of products. I didn't get to see must of what they offer. However, I saw enough to know that if you enjoy creating stuff as much as I do you'll be happy with this store. This is my first time coming here. I'll...
