Sorry for a Brief Delay

Author's Note: Hi everyone I know I am very late on getting the latest chapters out as promised, but I unfortunately had to hear of the sad passing this week of a dear friend of mine who unexpectedly passed away far to young and it has just left me partially broken inside and devastated.

I did receive all of yours reviews for both Ties and Sunset and appreciate all of the feedback and followers of my stories and I will be continuing with both of these stories and hope to get the next chapters out either by next week or by the following Monday the latest.

Once again, I do apologize for the lateness of the chapters, but I also want to express my appreciation to all of my readers and promise that I will be continuing on with the stories as soon as I can do so, which will be in the near future, but for now if I can get any kind words or feedback it would go a long way towards a healing heart. Thanks for your support Mars Light

Also, below I have written this brief narrative below just writing down some personal feelings of loss and regret if you choose to read it and if somehow by posting this for others to read it will give one main purpose to tell those that you love and care about how you feel about them today and not wait until later because there is not always a later to be there.

Words Left Unsaid

There were so many times that I would walk past your picture or scroll past your name and say I will call her soon, but then I would wait until later, why? Why? does there always have to be a later? Why can't words be said now when you feel them in your heart instead of putting off what can be said or done today for later

Somehow later never comes, but before we know it the days turned to weeks, the weeks turned to months and months became years, but I will forever cherish all the times that we did have together and hold onto the most cherished memories close to my heart until we are together once more to laugh smile and share stories of days gone by.

I live always with this one deep regret and wish with each passing day that I had picked up the phone one day sooner. I wish I had taken a moment just to ask hi how are you, four basic words that can travel so far and to tell you thank you for being a great friend and being there when I needed one the most

I wish that we could have had one more do over to laugh and / or cry, to make more memories that would last, but most of all I just wish we had more time to say what we really feel that you were/ are important to me.

I had written these words before and felt much of them the same as I do now wanting there to be more time because when a life is cut too short there is never enough time, but only a million unanswered questions all the same asking why, but it is impossible to find any answers of where you've gone or why it happened now, no matter how hard you search

I never expected years ago when we were so close and I had first made you a promise that if anything should happen to you, I would always be there to look after and watch over those that you held the dearest, never expecting that one-day time would catch up and I would actually have to say goodbye to you my friend, but my word stays true and you may watch over them from heaven but I will keep my promise to you here on earth and be there for them in any capacity I can.

Sadly, too soon I know this has to be our final goodbye for now, but I do believe in my heart that it will only be for now as someday we will be reunited once more and will not have to wait for later to come again.

For Now, Rest in peace my friend
