| "Father-God, It is New Year's Eve again. It has been four years since Mommy died but I still miss her so much." "God, why did she have to die on the one holiday I used to celebrate?" "I don't know what to do this year. I just know I will likely never celebrate New Year's Eve again as long as I live. For me, it will always be the anniversary of the day my mother died." "God, What can I do this year to help me cope with the lingering feelings of grief?" "What can I do?" "You remember, the first year after her death I visited her grave back in Wellsville."

"I think I was at Matthew's, wasn't I?" "I know I didn't get together with family but I think my camper was parked on his property." "What can I do this year?" "Move into the dilapidated house you bought" "I could do that. I could buy something to sleep on and a table." "I have those jigsaw puzzles Glenda gave me.

I don't care if I am, I am so glad to hear your voice even if it is a dream, I love you!" Written for "The Dialogue 500"  Prompt: You receive a phone call from a dead relative.
