Empty
No words
Only letters
Set
In random order.
No sense
Like a dream
Remembered
In bits and pieces.
Tripping, falling,
Grasping
The ground beneath
Suddenly
Gone.
Love Week- Day One
Our home is decked out in red and pink. There are hearts, cupids, and banners that exclaim love and my desire to possess everyone in the house. Be Mine! (I'm sort of selfish that way.) My kids get very excited for Love Week. Mostly, it's the candy. But, hopefully, they're also excited for the love notes they get each day. Hopefully, they'll tuck these little treasures in their drawers and when they see them in May or August, they'll be reassured that they are indeed loved. I try to express love for my family every day. We say "I love you" a lot. I cook them dinners and wash their laundry--little acts of kindness that say I care. But, I think we all need a little something extra every now and then. And, in this day of technology and email and facebook, a hand-written note is rare. Maybe they won't appreciate it until years later, but I cling to the hope that someday they will. As part of Love Week, I'll tell you some things that I love...
There is always a letdown after something as big as a wedding. Hang in there. Time will make it better. I so love you for who you are.

This is a very evocative piece--one of those feelings most of us have had put down in words. Thanks for sharing it.
