Young friend in Saskatchewan, so
Many miles away, but near in my
Thoughts.
She was having a weepy day.
Two years earlier her husband was
Nearing the end of his life and had
Left their farm house for the
Last time.
In her words:
"So much sadness is flooding my
Mind...
I so miss the affirming words,
The comforting hugs,
The look of special love."
She was trying to adjust to the hard
Realities of bereavement.
When a loved one is never again coming
Home, absence doesn't make the
Heart grow fonder, just more broken.
