For 29 years now, March 17th has been sad,
because March 18th was when
my mother put a bullet in her head
1980 plays over and over again.

I am Irish some.
But I have been numb.

And I don't care about green stuff anymore
and Irish tradition anyhow,
the songs play over in my head
and I'm realizing what is NOW.

And now sucks.

Dixie, what a horrific ordeal for you. I cannot even imagine how devastating that must have been.

St. Patrick's Day (March 17) is the anniversary of my beloved nephew Chad's disappearance on Lake Ontario along with 5 of his friends. Their bodies have never been found. Chad always called me his second Mom. We absolutely adored each other. My sister had already lost a daughter ~ Kelly Marie Louise. As difficult as
these losses have been for us, we carry on. ~ for life is for the living.

I'm truly sorry for what you have experienced. That kind of pain never goes completely away, but we must release it and carry on. I wrote a poem once, entitled "Earth Life Ain't Easy" ~ Ain't that the truth!

Dixie (and Linda!)... I'm so very sorry for the anguish you've suffered. Sometimes, there just isn't an explanation.
