and it haunts me
Not my story
Not even in my lifetime
But, it lives inside me each day.
Somehow
my mother
my father
Survived 40 years
Lived 40 years
Smiled and loved
For 40 years
Raised two children
Missing one child
Perfectly
Healthy
Toddler
With
Beautiful
Brown
Eyes
GONE
From a sweet boy
22 months old
to a memory
One day here
the next day
Gone
as time can heal us
it can be a cruel reminder
that the fear
doesnt go away
the sadness
is
the reality
is
Grief knows no boundaries
Grief doesn’t go away.
We become a new version
of the person
that death left us
As anniversaries approach
the sting
the memories
The reality of it all
Is that grief
Is the greatest
most painful
selfless
act of love
we can give
love that never
ceases to exist
