Anniversary

Today is my parent's wedding anniversary. They are gone...erased from this place. Aside from my witness, there is no history or record of their existence.  All of their years of toil, trauma, and work that I witnessed have been erased from this place.   They are nothing...they have been erased and forgotten. My hope is that they are in a better place without suffering....as they did here.  I am not optimistic to that end.
