here's to happiness, when the gloom feels a little gloomier.

It seems every time this day roles around, the company is still laughing, the birds still singing, homework still being done, even though one isn't here to share it with us. Leaves us all in a little bit of a gloom that isn't being cut by her sunlight that is being shared elsewhere brightly and with us through our memories. So on this day, to a lovely lady who left us a little early to go on her journey, and her little ways of always putting everyone around her in a good mood. Here's to happiness.

• the feeling you get of family when you walk in the studio.
• the unified laughing moments.
• the feeling of everyone thinking and crying together.
• the many silly memories of we had with her.
• the chills from listening to her songs.
• sharpies on a ring.
• the single ladies dance.
• the sunlight coming through the clouds and trees.
• fantastic hugs
• yellow tulips.
• funny photoshoots
• pizookies
• lock-ins
• goofy dances
• singing as loud as you can just to see the funny faces of passersby.

For you Makenzie. I miss you.
