this was the first time
in his life
i actually believed
i could lose him
without him
my life would
be absent of
purpose

Author notes
My son almost died last week. He had a very
bad flue and was in the Hospital three times
for dehydration. He injured his throat and
couldn't eat even after the flue subsided.

My brother had biopsy of the lung after bouts of 'valley fever', the verdict 'the cancer has returned' -- another round of chemo in his distant venue...
For her birthday my mother was granted a one-day leave from the nursing home. I played part of the CD that was my gift for the occasion, the song 'Mother rock me to sleep.'

this I understand
wonderful
my youngest last year had a ruptured appendix - in hospital for two weeks - 13 years old then - everything in life gets put in perspective when one of your kids are at risk -
this is brief and elegant - I identify with it -

I find it profoundly sad.
I lost my job today. But it's not as bad as losing Valerie, of course. I sometimes feel like all of the hope has been gut punched from my soul. God prepared for to this end, but why, I sometimes wonder.
God is our help, dear sister. I'm a shoulder if you ever need it, albeit distant.

Coming to the poem, I loved the simple emotions and the raw feeling. It seems like you've ripped out your heart and plastered it onto paper. Truly wonderful and capturing, especially the last bit. =)
