I haven’t forgotten.
I will not forget.
Has the pain changed? Certainly. From deep, searing grief, it has settled into my hollows and constantly reminds me of its presence. I am here, I will stay, you will always remember.
Life and I, though, after many long years of dancing the minuet, have arrived at an agreement, and I must push plans through before the fickle sprite changes her mind.
So excuse me these next couple months, while I shuffle around doing Big Things.
I will be back. And you’ll still be here, won’t you?
Stay well. God bless. And if you’re an agnostic/atheist/ prefer not to believe, pick your own blessing. I’m happy to wish it.
