Tidal Inundation - friends & family in mind

Sweep in like a tidal inundation seep into the earth, erosion, erode and fill push in then flow out again take part of me with you leave part of you with me I step into your ocean I step into your world strange creatures lurk under your mysterious waves dangerous, poisonous I tremble all your flotsam and jetsam swirl around me I hear your weeping wind blow through gentle melodies, violent dissonance I will gather the moments I have had with you like colored glass on a beach let them slide through my fingers Your waves crash over me Rush in like an inundating wave and then recede tidal water, rushes back ebbing and rising here and then gone

Saying Goodbye

Monday Kennedy went to his mom's house to visit her and meet with her nurse, Chad. Chad let the family know that it looks like days before Rosie passes away. It was quite a shock for all of us, we had expected another 2 months, or at least several weeks. So everyone is on high alert and we are preparing to say goodbye. Yesterday I was able to communicate what a wonderful mother-in-law she has been for me, as well as such a special friend, and how much I love her. I talked about the special times we've had as a family and especially with Poppy & Jasper. Rosie was with me when I gave birth to Poppy and helped convince me to go ahead and give her the name "Poppy." It was wonderful to have her all these years, she has been a gift and brought a lot of happiness & laughter into my life. It is difficult to let her go.
