‘I recognize the girl but I can’t settle in these walls’

Here on Sia’s actual 38th birthday, I was just listening to the Acoustic Storm on Pirate Radio.

The first song after the show ended at noon was Natalie Merchant. Not my cuppa tea but I was too distracted to close out the app.

The second song, of course it was “Runaways” by The Killers.

For a moment I was back in Miami with her, rocking out at the concert.

How do I manage to hear this every year on her birthday?

I know. Of course I know.

Love you, girl.

*sending kisses heaven-ward, which is all around me*

I hope I am not sending Cocoa your way soon. But I fear I might.

Keep an eye on my little girl with the big purr, would you?

I’ll just be here painfully aware that everyone I love is dead or on their way there.
