I sighed as I walked into the building. I knew this is where people came in their last years of life. I was here one more time. I knew their deaths were close. I brushed a strand of bright icy blue hair from my cloud gray eyes. This wasn't a normal visit. I would come once a week but I knew today was goodbye. I would miss them.

"Yule," My favorite nurse greeted me. "Here to see your grandparents again?"

"Always, Greg," I said with a smile. He was great been working here for years. "Where are they?"

"In the sunroom," He replied. I thanked him as I walked towards Elizabeth and Anthony. Life had been hard on them.

I'd found Elizabeth when she was just 10 years old that pretty little girl with sun kissed skin, hair as golden as wheat, and eyes as blue as the sky. She stole my heart. Elizabeth gave me a daisy she'd found the first time we met. I still have that flower frozen forever so that I never forget her. For years she and I explored the world together. Then one day she told me she met a boy. She was smitten with him. Anthony was a great man. When he was drafted into the war she was devastated, she'd never asked me for anything, so I went to War too. Humans always first to fight and will talk after blood has been spilled.

"Yule, you're here." Elizabeth greeted. I almost broke down into tears. Instead I broke into a wide smile. I can still see that little girl I met all those years ago.

"It's about time you showed up. You're late." Anthony joked with a smile. "0900 means 0850 not 0905."

"So sorry you old fart. I'll remember that next time." Anthony and I had become just as good friends as Elizabeth and I during the war. They were the only two in the longest time to know my secret.

What is my secret? Well if you haven't figured it out already I'm immortal, and if you haven't figured out why I'm immortal it is because I am the Winter Solstice. I cause blizzards and Nor'easters and a bunch of other storms, one of my favorites was the blizzard of '68 that one got more out of control then what I wanted to happen. It was Easter so not like anyone was going anywhere anyway.

"What's wrong?" Elizabeth asked me.

"Nothing's wrong." I replied smiling. "Just thinking of the past," I hoped that was a good enough of an excuse. "Thinking when and where the next storm should hit."

"Make it Kansas, Bill lived there. We always hated Bill." Anthony reminded me. "Make his kids shovel that snow and his grandkids and great grandkids."

"I'll keep that in mind." I told him with a laugh.

"What brings you to us today?" Elizabeth said. "Got you a boy yet?"

I laughed. "Yeah right, when would I ever be able to find another immortal? Especially one that can handle the cold, don't you remember that poor boy that I almost froze? I can't date a normal human. My control isn't that great when I let my guard down."

It was true I wasn't good with control all the time. I wasn't horrible. It was when my emotions went wild that's when I lost my control. The poor boy had just given me a kiss on the cheek and I caused a short white out. I would hate to see what happen when I was given a kiss on the lips. My first kiss mind you. It took me nearly a year to be able to hold Elizabeth's hand.

"You're a pretty girl Yule." Elizabeth reminded me. "You'll find a boy just a matter of time. You're still young. You're what age now?"

"17?" I replied uncertain. I couldn't remember really. I knew I had to seem young to have hair as outrageous as I did. I used to have to stay mostly invisible until hair dye was really popular. Either that or I would have to go cover my hair in powder, mud, dirt, or something to make it look more of a natural color.

"17 and never been kissed." Anthony laughed. "What a day and age we live in."

"Hey, better than being somewhere else." I replied.

"Al has a grandson around your age we can set you two up on a date." Elizabeth said with a smile.

"No thanks. I haven't been on a date since VE day and I don't plan on having another one anytime soon. You'll be the first to know when I go on a date. I promise."

The rest of the day we remembered good times. Even some of the other's in the home came to tell stories to the youngster that was willing to listen. Of course they didn't know that most of the stories that they told me I'd been alive then too. Like back before you could order fast food and all that fun stuff not that I minded. I liked to remember those times. No I just tried to keep up with the youth just so I could keep up appearances. It wasn't always as easy as it seemed. Learning to use a computer was hard and cellphones were so weird. I didn't understand why someone would want to stare at something for hours.

Greg came into the room and I looked at the time. It was time for me to say goodbye. I could hear the reaper not far off. He was coming for them; he'd been kind enough to give me more hours then what I was supposed to have.

"Goodbye." I said with the fakest smile I could muster. I hugged Elizabeth. "I'll come see you Wednesday." I said as I hugged Anthony.

"Thank you." Anthony said as he hugged me tight. "You've given us some of the best times of our life. We know." Elizabeth nodded as he let me go. I started to cry. It was goodbye and they knew. In a few days I would attend a double funeral with two of the best people I've ever met. "Just watch after our stupid kids ok?"

"I'll never forget you. I'll always remember that sweet little girl and that weird boy that she was in love with." I gave them the best smile I could muster.

I walked out the door and as soon I was clear I flew away. I could feel that I was starting a storm, but I couldn't help it. I went to the South Pole as quickly as I could. I sat in the little house I'd made for myself and cried until I couldn't cry no more. I knew what happened that night and I'm not sure that I would ever be able to get myself over it, but I would have to. I would need to move on. The only way I could figure out how to do that was to find a new friend or two. Maybe this time I'll find an immortal or humans will live to be as old as time. Either one would work.
