Thank you so kindly, and thank you to your dear wife as well. I'm grateful that you are reading my crazy poemas. I am glad I started this thread. It is keeping me thinking and keeping me writing. Both of my parents died in rather recent times, and I am still processing all of that out of my body and heart. That stuff runs very deep.

My sympathies. My wife lost her mom when she was 12 and I know from her that it cuts extremely deep. Keep the poems coming, you have an appreciative audience enjoying them.That stuff runs very deep.

When we lose a parent, our connection to the past is broken. When we lose a child, our connection to the future fades. We are nothing but ellipses, one focal point two steps ahead, the other two steps behind.
