Eight Months

I looked in the mirror today...

I looked for perhaps the first time in eight months...


I searched the glass...

I searched for life...


I stared at the face across...

I stared at his eyes...


He looked tired...old...and torn...

He looked defeated and alone...


He searched his mind...

He searched his heart...


He stared back...

He stared with empty eyes...

  1. I wanted to come up and see you on the 25th, by the time the madness of the day was over and I tired to get to see you, you were gone. I have finally sat down to get caught up on your writing, I especially appreciate the blog about writers block. I feel like with all of the drama in my life I have not had a chance to sit down and feel the loss of Danny anymore. I long to sit and be still and feel his presence all around me. I went to the cemetery and cried today, cried for not having his innocence surrounding me, cried because I miss his laughter, cried because life is so unfair and I should be the one in the ground and not him. The other day my teenage son told me I care more about Danny dead then I do about my kids who are alive, sad thing is sometimes that is true, I cannot get past the fact that Danny is dead to enjoy other two kids who need me. I long for someone to hold me and tell me all is going to be alright, but will it ever be alright, I tend to say not, I feel as if there is a hole in my life that will never be filled. I think of you often Sean {{hugs}}
