Or my mother. Well done, Ryan. A sigh of recognition, and resignation, here.

It makes us who we are, I guess… I’m sorry you can recognise it, but happy for the friendship it brings. Thanks for dropping by, Sarah 🙂

Love this, Ryan (and I’m truly sorry about your dad…)–I ponder sometimes, what it will be like in Heaven where there is no more crying. I assume that means we don’t pack our bad/painful memories with us, so the reunions won’t be bitter or fearful.

A nice thought, Azul. It is what is – he’s given me plenty of material to write about, so it isn’t all bad 🙂 Thank you once again, my friend.

Such sadness expressed with pristine beauty. An eager sting that burns constantly has found its way once again on your lines. I like your repetition with different meaning of the other life – both lives different and times too.
Sending you smiles my friend.
