November 11th - I arrive home to find you on the floor mortally wounded from another stroke.
The days in the ICU - the three-day journey with only one inevitable destination.
The music, the flag being given to me,
the gatherings of people who loved you so - everything a swirl of disjointed images.
These are the days of remembrance - now it comes again - the flood of feelings,
tears and laughter - loss and longing.
Remembering the laughter, the fun, the friendship - the unconditional love.
Remembering YOU.
The vigil is about to begin.
Ohhhh, sweetheart. These days of vigil will never be anything but sorrowful. I hold you close across the miles.
ReplyDeletei hold you close in my heart. i think of you often. i will say your name out loud. i will "sit" beside you through this time. i wish you peace.
ReplyDeleteThinking about you
ReplyDelete- when you told me, that was a very strong experience for me - we talked about or dear ones that was not among us on planet earth....
