Sammi (though I saw this in Dale’s blog) issues weekly writing challenges. A word is provided along with the exact number of words you must use to write about said word. That sounds intriguing. This week’s word is ‘return.’ And the instructions say to use 31 words, not one word more or one word less.
Hmmm…let me try…
Please come home,
I silently implore, to my mother, my father.
My girl.
Please return home, where you’re loved, needed,
So missed.
But I realize, finally,
That you are home,
Now.

Dale and Beth Ann nailed it. Beautiful and difficult. Grief is hard. Hang in there and take care of yourself a long walk in the forest or watching the birds at the feeder. Peace.

I’ve been watching the birds here at home. And at my favorite park. She wasn’t too interested in birds, so they are a good diversion for me. A long walk in the woods would be hard without my girl. But someday I’ll be able to do it.

Oh, you nailed this one, Dawn … but gee, you’re making my eyes leak. I can feel your grief, and I wish there was something I could do to help. I suppose we’ll have to wait on good old Time to heal your broken heart (but waiting is sooo hard!) Hugs.
