Someone told me that the little orbs of light in photos means a spirit was present when the photo was taken. I took a photo of a cemetery at night just to see how many orbs came out. There weren’t that many but they were all different sizes. I guess just like people, some spirits are bigger spirited than others.
Every year on your birthday I take a picture of the chair you used to sit in, the faded red one with the too high armrests. I’ve got four orbs in seven years. There were two orbs in one picture so I guess you must have brought a friend last year. Maybe you were trying to explain where you’d been the past few years. I want to say it’s okay, I don’t need you around all the time like I used. But it’s not true.
