The Past And The Present

The morning rose as usual and everything was the same except one person-Neil.Today was the day his life had changed forever.The day when the woman he loved chose death rather than living with him.As always,Neil woke up at the break of dawn.But today he did not follow his routine.On other days he would exercise and go for his morning run.This day,every year,had a different routine.He would usually dress up to visit her at the grave and the rest of the day would be spent in a drunken haze.The next two days would be spent in a hungover state.Before,Alicia would be there with him so that he would not die in a drunken stupor,she would claim.And then these last two years his brother Matt had been there.He knew Matt had been sent by Alicia though he never knew how Alicia came to know about his habit.

However,this year,and on this day,he stood in the foyer ready to go to the graveyard but he had no plans to go drinking afterwards.The reason for that was Mi Rae.
