To Have Known You
One
A young woman’s hands sweep along the sun warmed stone, tracing the angel and name etched there, tears fall from her eyes as she thinks. Her name is Hunter Mikayla Riley, and under the ground she sits on is her twin sister.
Her sister’s name was Emily Elizabeth; she was the first to be born, and the first to go home to God. Emily’s heart was weak. It shook her whole body with every beat. She lasted only one day.
Hunter’s light hair blows around her face in the wind. She smiles, and then frowns, asking questions. What would it have been like growing up with you, with that magical connection between me and you? “What would it be like to have known you?” She whispers, her fingers pulling at the beautiful green grass near her knees.
