No Ordinary Pear(Pair)

If I could only turn back time to bring you back to me if I could reverse what’s done just to see you again my friend. These were the words Joshua said while standing under the Bartlett Pear Tree. Joshua was thinking of his friend Michael who passed away suddenly two weeks ago. Joshua and Michael were closer than brothers. Michael had a rare kidney disease that took his life unexpectedly one Friday afternoon. Joshua wept bitterly for days. Joshua and Michael met under this pear tree for years. Under this tree they would have long talks for hours and it felt like only minutes went buy. Joshua was now 30 years old the same age as Michael. When they turned 21, they shared a drink under this tree an aged bottle of Bourbon Joshua found in his parents’ basement.
