You'll always be a part of me
Lillian's 10th birthday is pretty much now and what do I do?
I write a sappy short story written around one of my favourite Billy Joel songs. (Seriously, once I first heard this song when I finally bought "River of Dreams" it clung onto my heartstrings and never let go. The last song that did that to me that strongly was "Endless Night" from TLKoB. And it's definitely a song that Dakota would sing to Lillian, for he is made of sap and love and doesn't care if she makes fun of his singing, heck, as long as he gets her to smile, he's happy.)
I generally don't write my fiction predominately around song lyrics due to copyright reasons, but since this won't be getting past the Intertubes, I'll let myself have this guilty pleasure.
Yeah, yeah, Lillian may have a sucky birthday present, but she knows that most of my birthday presents the past five years or so have been next to nothing, anyway, so it's only fair.
