Sun Chasers

December fifth, 2003 they left. I told people that they were sun chasers and rain dodgers. They were looking for warm weather and it clearly was nowhere to be found around December in Pennsylvania.

I honestly didn’t think they were going to return to live here. I knew they would return to visit but to live, no. Other people thought Janet and Jerry would return but I never did.

My friend was gone and it was work for me to be joyful. I didn’t want to be a killjoy but I was seriously getting close to being a good one.
