Mornin everyone..
Oh Katz,
I know those moments
Oh So Well,
like the ocean,
it waves and swells
crashes on
my sandy shore
leaving memories,
once more
I place my blanket
farther back
still, it is wet,
the tears
I stack.
Just for today
let them pour
We will hold you
knowing more
They will come
and they will go
A few of us,
we know them so..

Katz, we all have those moments.


Yes, we do. But when you're in the middle of one.......


Sorry Katz, hope you are feeling better today. I always feel better after a good cry.

Here are a couple of things I did after my husband passed away a year ago March:
I immediately got a sofa-bed so I could sleep in the living room when I wanted.
Tore up the lawn in the backyard to make an English garden.
Got a Miniature Schnauzer.

But, I'm still in a vacuum of sorts. The crying subsided except for an outburst now and then. Just in a bubble watching the world go by.
Do you have kids near by? Hugs,


No children, just never happened. Back in the day they didn't have pregnancy in a petrie dish like they do now. :laughing: whoa
That's why I'm chasing a Miniature Schnauzer around.slaphead
