Alys in Real Life

Last week was Bunco! My favorite night of the week. Bunco was at Amy's house all the way in a far far away town. It was also St. Patrick's Day.

He was only 76 and I had only known about him for 15 years and only lived in Idaho with him for 10. I instantly regretted all the time I didn't spend with him. 10 years is not enough to spend with someone. I got to the Doctor and tried my best to hold myself together, but tears ran down my fac
