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 Poetry~ Words falling on paper, painting a dream. Shawna R.

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. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
