I woke up feeling a kind of way, even though I was at my sister's house where I was supposed to be super happy, I still felt weird.

I picked up my phone to check the time, maybe I woke up just too early, and looking at the time on my phone, I knew it was not the time I normally wake up. I hate to wake up so early.

“Oh shit!” I gasped whilst staring at today’s date.



“How could I have forgotten,” I said to myself and slumped back in bed.

Memories of that day flooded my mind and just like every time I remember all that happened that day I get goosebumps and feel sick to my stomach.

They say time heals every wound but it seems like time ain’t healing this wound of mine.

To a lot of people, April 1st is that time of the year when you pull crazy pranks to fool people but to me, it’s the day that I am reminded of the departure of two important people dear to my heart.

I took a deep breath as I heard their voices, I have heard these voices for years and I don’t know how to shut them up.

The images were so clear and their soft voices as they screamed for help.

For the umpteenth time, I thought of ways they would have been saved if help had arrived sooner. I couldn’t help but blame the system and every damn person who delayed in saving them.

I cleaned my eyes as there was no point in weeping over and over again.

*Ding dong* I heard my phone chime. 

I picked up my phone and it was a message from my best friend. 

*I hope you’re not up crying your eyes out. Your interview is tomorrow and I’m not about to cover those puffy eyes of yours with my concealers! Products are expensive!*

*It hurts but you’ll be fine, I’ll be praying for you over here and I’ll be there soon, okay?*
*I love you.*

Yeah,  that was classic  Prisca my best friend always the first to message me on a day like this.

I looked at the text again and chuckled, who thinks about makeup products when a person is grieving? Yeah, yeah, only Prisca.

I dropped my phone on the bed and closed my eyes to force myself to sleep as I have a very important interview later.

As much as it hurts and it does feel like my heart is about to explode, I will try to be strong for both of them.


**What do I see?**

*I can see a picture with 01 April which is a start of a new month.*

**What do you feel?**
*A  reminder of a new month and a time to reflect on one’s life and strategize.*
