And So it Goes

August 9th, 2013

And so, it goes on and on. Another year has come and gone. Like days and nights that fade away, it's just another point in this year's day, a week, a month that only means something to me. Those memories will never recede into tonight's darkness as this day slowly fades away.

And so it goes, my memory wanders about, wondering what your souls are doing tonight. Are you happy? Are you cold?  Are you watching your kids' lives unfold? It isn't easy to think of you this way. Still, it's always nice to know that you haven't strayed away from me because I know you're only a dream away or a thought away from keeping your spirit alive.

And so it goes, our boys are playing while you're in heaven. They're oblivious to the altered life, but it doesn't mean they don't think twice; when they see your picture on the wall, they always stop and pause, knowing you're not here. Still, they have no fear because they know you're always nearby.

And so it goes. Life is the same. Soon, I need to realize that I can't take the blame, but visualize our 2 daughters calling your name, "Mommy! Come here, just for a second; Daddy and the boys aren't in heaven. There'll be plenty of times to see them grow, but we have to go for now. But it's okay, Mommy, to sit and watch, but for now, we have to have fun. There are plenty of stores for us to shop."

And so it goes, time is unforgiving, and there's never enough time. Even from the beginning, when we first wake up to start our day, there really is no time to play, but there is always a reason to stop and think about our time together. That brings me some peace, pushing me towards a time and place that slows life down to a pace so I can appreciate this time and place.

And so it goes. Life rolls on and on. With or without you, you will always be gone. But as I move along through my good times and bad times, I'll never forget the days that we had. Those times that made us both happy and sad will forever define who I was while we were together, living a life that should have ended, but that is in the past. I'm sending this present to wish you a happy 10th anniversary.

 And so, it goes….

"Far Away"

You are here: Home » "Far Away" May 5th, 2012 For mommy in heaven… My kids wouldn't let me sleep last night. I kept them busy all afternoon and evening, yet they were still very hyper. I picked Nico up from school at 2:00 o'clock P.M. and decided to take them for a road trip to Broward County. It's a close drive from where we live. I am just one county over to the north. I didn't feel like going home and falling into the same routine. I wanted to stimulate the boys so that they would sleep later that night. Honestly, maybe we all could get some sleep that night. It's hard to get motivated in life when you are sleep-deprived. Nico leaves class about 10 minutes earlier than the rest of the school. Since he was a premature baby, he has had a learning delay with speech. The State of Florida placed him in a program called Early Steps. It's a great program, and it allows him to catch up to the rest of his peers academically so that by the time h...

Hi Mama. Bye Mama

You are here: Home » Hi Mama. Bye Mama. June 26, 2012 Hi mama. Bye, mama. And so it goes. Up the street, hi, mama, down the street, bye, mama. The boys know where they can find mommy. It's just down the road, a path we take every day. Everywhere we go. We go with the flow. Hi mama. Bye, mama. It always starts the same, the familiar path of the road the boys have become accustomed to. It doesn't matter what we do; we will always pass right on through; regardless of how we travel, mom will always be on their left or their right. She's never too far out of sight. Hi mama. Bye, mama. The boys anticipate the car ride. They look on either side as we drive by, seeking a clear view of their mama to be seen through. They eagerly await with no other thought on their plate. They are just waiting for the moment to see their number one visually. Hi mama. Bye, mama We are getting closer now; they look at Dad, their pal. Their smiles reach from ear to ear, knowing the time is near...

Anatomy of a Loss

You are here: Home » Anatomy of a Loss July 5, 2012 When you lose someone that you love and that you depend on, it feels like everything around you has just crashed and burned. It doesn't matter what is happening in the world because yours just got charred beyond recognition. You are forced to reprogram everything about you. Who you are. What your path in life was. The goals you had planned. Everything before the death of a loved one is scraped.  Your mind wanders about aimlessness, and you just go over your mind time and time again about how you will be able to do it. Where do you go from here? You are afraid and bewildered because you are unsure what to do and who to turn to. You find that you question God and yourself and examine everything about your life.  The doubts set in about yourself, and you want to return to the day before so badly just to reassure yourself that everything ...
