I saw you again lastnight
Actually every time I close my eyes
Your face dances on the back of my eyelids
You were alive
Holding a newborn in your lap
My senses became paralyzed
I felt your spirit
as if you
never left us
My heart mastered the art
of procrastination
I don't know
what it was
maybe I was too hurt
and guilt stricken
It's not that I tried denying
the end of your chapter
and the beginning
of your eternal life
that you wouldn't be able
to share with us


If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

Such a sad write Kristen..well said.
Sending hugs your way, Nancy

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

Oh, Kris, I am so sorry for your loss. A person as loving and sensitive as you are, feel things so deeply.

You've been missed.

May the spring renew your spirit.

Giving you a loving, healing hug,
Linda

I think this is summed up in the title, but your words paint such a poingnant and heartwrenching write.

a good commitee can decimate communication.
