I wake with a start
Had I dreamt it?
No!
My stomach twists with anxiety
I know she is gone
I snatch the curtain open
My mind will not accept what I am seeing
Rather, not seeing
Dani Fran!
Where are you?
Wait. What?
You’re gone
Ears whirring
A guttural NOOOOO escapes my throat!
My heart aches
Fear and sorrow bubble up
Adrenaline is pumping
WHAT DO I DO?
I quickly get dressed
What do I do now?
PACK!
I shove everything into bags
Why are you packing?
CALL 911 ALREADY!!
Just the facts about Dani Fran and we’ll send someone out
6 hours later
The crimesite hotel manager is not sufficiently concerned with what has happened to Dani Fran in my opinion
I meet supportive and caring cashiers and front desk staff on my way home though
Officer is very nice, but not hopeful
Predicted Dani Fran is probably headed for the border with my winter wardrobe
Dani Fran and I checked off a few bucket list items
She was my Talisman
Encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone
GONE my entire winter wardrobe
GONE my two favorite pairs of boots
GONE a dozen lovingly chosen winter scarves
GONE my favorite sweat pants and my new forest green youtuber Hoodie
GONE the perfect snow pants and my favorite flannel shirt
POOF!
Keep it together girl
Long assed drive of deafening silence
Tucson to New Orleans
Like a movie scene in my mind
What could I have done differently?
Reach out to my facebook community for support
It is in very short supply
I guess some of my followers are not my friends
Not the kind I want anyway
Guess it’s time to have a social media house cleaning
Trembling with nerves and emotion
Tears want to flow
Try to flow
Bitch-slapped them back down
Feelz later
My heart is heavy
My Dani Fran is gone
