November

"No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member -
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds -
November!"
- Thomas Hood, No!



I know hate is a strong word, so I'll just say that I've come to strongly dislike and dread November. Charlie's birthday falls on the last day of November. Birthdays are supposed to be about celebration, not about sadness and emptiness.

No Charlie...
No cake, no candles, no presents, no joy --- NOVEMBER!


Okay, so I'll still eat cake on his birthday to celebrate, but still.. it's not the same..
