In Loving Memory of Lance Cpl. Branden P. Ramey
Branden RameyMemorial
Age 22, of Boone, Illinois
Killed in action in Babil Province, Iraq, on November 8, 2004
2nd Battalion, 24th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, Marine Corps Reserve,

I reflect and realize how many people are missing from my life. The ones I used to talk to every day, the ones who once felt permanent, are gone. Some drifted away when life shifted. Others were taken suddenly, without warning. Death stole a few. Distance took the rest.
I can feel the truth of it pressing down as the memories settle in. It hits me how much of my life has changed without me even noticing. The people who once filled every corner of my world are now scattered across time, living only in pieces of my heart and mind. I do not know when it happened, only that it did.
Growing older is not what I thought it would be. It is not just time passing. It is realizing how much of yourself disappears with the people you have lost.
Sometimes, I can still feel them here. Their laughter. Their presence. Their light. But it fades before I can hold on to it. What remains is a quiet ache that never fully leaves.
Branden, you were one of the good ones. A true friend. A brother in spirit and heart. Your sacrifice and your strength will never be forgotten. I carry your memory with pride and love every single day. You are STILL my biggest INSPIRATION and I WILL never forget you!
I love you, friend, and Jesus is lucky to have you.

My latest work in progress takes place inside an interrogation room, and writing it has been one of the hardest and most emotional experiences.

When I picture the scene, I don’t just see a woman sitting across from a detective. I feel her. The tension. The shame. The exhaustion that comes from being picked apart question by question. The sound of the fluorescent lights above her becomes louder than her heartbeat. The room is sterile, but everything happening inside of it is not. It’s raw. It’s human. It’s breaking.

That’s what REPLACED is about — that space between love and destruction.

REPLACED is still in the developmental stages of writing, but it started with a conversation that sounded something like this.

Her: Why didn’t you ever want to marry me when I was young and beautiful? When I could have looked magical in my wedding dress?

Him: I didn’t trust the process of love enough to make it official.

Her: You didn’t trust me enough to make it real. You didn’t want to make sure the woman you claimed to love had everything she needed.

Him: I just didn’t want to lose everything again. The last time I gave everything, it broke me. She left me jagged.

Her: So you let your past decide my worth. You punished me for her mistakes.

Him: Maybe I was trying to protect myself.

Her: And yet you married a woman from another country. Not the one who gave you everything. Not the one who stayed. Not the one who believed in you when no one else did.

That was the moment the story was born. In that madness. In that ache of loving someone who could not see your worth. In the quiet realization that love without commitment is just another way to break someone.

REPLACED grew out of that conversation. Out of betrayal, confusion, and the kind of heartbreak that turns into something dark and unforgettable.

🖤 This story started as truth and became fiction. But the emotion behind it was real.

REPLACED is still in development, and readers have started sending in their feedback. Some of it has been emotional and deeply encouraging. Some of it has been more critical. But it is all necessary to hear. This is what growth looks like.

I have received messages from readers who said they felt every emotion. They said the heartbreak was real, the pain was familiar, and the story reminded them of their own experiences. Those words remind me why I write. They remind me that truth in storytelling matters.

Then there are the readers who see things differently. They question the choices, the pacing, or the darkness in the story. And I value that just as much. Because development requires honesty. Writing is not about comfort. It is about reflection, growth, and facing the hard parts of the story until it feels real.

Every word of feedback, good or bad, is part of shaping something stronger. I do not want perfection. I want authenticity. I want readers to feel something.

To everyone who has read, responded, and shared their thoughts, thank you. Your honesty helps me grow as a writer and helps REPLACED become what it is meant to be.
