- Jace -

Today had been weighing heavily on all of our minds, the day we finally said goodbye to

Aunt Alora.

We all stood in silence, our head's bowed as we stood on the beach, the golden sands underfoot as we gave thanks to the moon goddess. Gave thanks for her presence in our lives.

Mum had made one request for today, that it doesn't close on a sad note...but on a happy one.

She has lost half of her soul, half of her heart.

I know it because that is how I would feel if I ever lost Jaxon or Josie. We aren't just siblings, we are one of the same.

Connected by more than blood, connected by a triplet bond...something Mum also shared with Alora. Not just sisters, but twin sisters.

Granted, they didn't even know of each other, their bond only connecting when they were in their adult lives. But that connection, once made, cannot be undone.

Not even by death.

Mum will now forever be a half of herself. She will never recover from this.
