Could Be Anywhere...

Emptiness

the emptiness is the worse
walking about our empty home
dark feelings, she isn’t here.
She’s laying in a hospital bed
tubes and monitors everywhere...
her pampered cat questioning me.

Our dog runs out excited, yipping
dances expectantly around her mini-van
only to come back sad, disappointed.
“Mama just isn’t here, boy”
his eyes accuse,  question me
we whimper together, unconsoled.

Making coffee early this morn
I cried holding her unused cup
no sleep for me in cold, empty bed.
Been a week now, of absolute hell
since she has been gone away
the emptiness is taking it’s toll.

She called me this afternoon
weakness, almost despair in her voice
“dreaming of coming home,” whispered.
Walking about our empty home
dawn breaks, so utterly alone...
she’s laying in a hospital bed.




bleeding...

"Tis ink coming
from his arm,
Captain!"

This is unequivocably sad. My heart goes out to you big brother. I miss you guys and will keep praying for her healthy return. I know that you've tried all you could so give it up to DAD. He knows what to do and how to do it. Hug Fluff and Elvis for us. We miss them too. (((((HUGS)))) and lots 'o' love. Sis

Saddness fills me as I read.  This hit home for me and, man can I understand the helplessness felt in a situation like this.  My prayers are with you and yours.

Such sad feelings of the emptiness you feel.

Prayers are sent lifting you both.
