Charlie

(DOB: December 28th, 1989)

(June 19th, 2015)

It was the beginning of summer and Charlie had always gone to her parent's cottage at this time of the year. It was raining down on the family’s SUV as they approached their destination; Charlie shuffled her iPhone into her coat pocket. Since Charlie was an only child there was plenty of room for her and her luggage in the back seat. “We’re here!” her Father exclaimed. The moment the vehicle came to a stop she grabbed her suitcase from the seat beside her, opened the SUV door, and scurried to the front porch. While waiting for her parents on the porch, she took a deep breath and smelled the combination of the rain and the wilderness - this triggered several memories from her childhood of coming to the cottage. These fond memories were interrupted abruptly as the cold rain soaked through her clothes. "Hurry up Dad, it's freezing out here." She blurted.

"How about you give us a hand with the groceries?" her Mom chimed in as both of her parents hastily grabbed all the necessities for the weekend out of the SUV. Charlie didn't know if she wanted to be there, neither did her parents, her phone vibrated (brrr... brr...). Charlie knew before she reached into her pocket that it was an Instagram comment. It was from the follower that went by the username tommy54truck, the comment read “Pretty as always".
