Less Colour, More Depth
Holidays usually have colours for some reason. Halloween is black & orange, Thanksgiving is all shades of brown, Valentine’s Day is red (but if it sucks it’s blue).

The only thing missing at his life’s celebration was his loud, rambunctious voice booming around the room. All my cousins heard its absence.

Anniversaire Joyeux, Quoi
Il y a précisèment un an, ou même douze mois si vous préférez, le soleil m’a montré l’aiguille du Midi de la base des Grands Montets. Les matins dans le cocon de mes collègues ont été plusieurs après le 4 décembre mais cette première fois était le début du meilleur hiver de ma vie.
À date.
Malgré que Denis & Coco n’ont pas pu me donner la neige que je voulais l’année...
