Forevermybabies Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Thank you Mary Pat. I know that he is not in pain, and that the only pain left is here in the ones he left behind. I don't cry for him; I cry for me. Because there is nothing else for me to do with this grief. I have shared this sonnet before, but here it is again. Mindful of you the sodden earth in spring, And all the flowers that in the springtime grow, And dusty roads, and thistles, and the slow Rising of the round moon, all throats that sing The summer through, and each departing wing, And all the nests that the bared branches show, And all winds that in any weather blow, And all the storms that the four seasons bring. You go no more on your exultant feet Up paths that only mist and morning knew, Or watch the wind, or listen to the beat Of a bird's wings too high in air to view,-- But you were something more than young and sweet And fair,--and the long year remembers you. Edna St. Vincent Millay When my heart feels like it is dying, I think about Festus' love for me. How he would comfort me when he was here. He never wanted me to be sad or cry. I imagine his head nudging my hand as if to say, "Mom...it's okay. I'm here." And even though he's not here, it stops the sobs from wracking my body to close my eyes and pretend for a moment that I could kiss his nose and bury my face in his neck and feel my tears be absorbed by his fur. Oh, God...how will this ever be okay? Well, the movie is over here at work. Everyone else has left. I'm going to mop up my face, turn out the lights, go to the grocery store and go home and make scones. Left right left right left right...what else can I do?
