the days and the losses are moving with unstoppable speed. we lay on her bed eating cherries, swirling the succulent flesh against our tongues, eyes closed; savoring.
today, we will lay on her bed again. i will rise. she will not.
i will sweep the cherry pits to the floor. the fruit of this life is all that matters.
Graciel,
ReplyDeleteI am so terribly sorry, honey. Keeping you close in my thoughts today and sending you love.

Graciel,
ReplyDeleteSimply put, I couldn't have said it better than Gillian....
You are in my thoughts, too.... Wishing you strength and peace. Sending hugs...
Sending you love and light. You are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI spent yesterday and today eating luscious organic radiant red cherries from you-know-where and cried spontaneously. Perhaps they were tears for you. I now think so.
