      Marion means of or related to Mary. In the Roman Catholic Tradition, October is one of two months dedicated to Mary.

    “memories / of vigils never made”

    Oh, the stories these words tell… I can almost see the speaker’s eyes full of a faraway look, sighing at what could’ve been, wondering if maybe, just maybe, it could still happen.
