loving a

When you love a , it is like reading a story you wrote only the words aren’t yours and mostly you’re the editor and the reader doesn’t much care for you. In your head you began to unfold their life way before they did. You had these fabulous ideas on plotline and character…. how they will act and what they will want.

Dreams of the greatness based on what? What you didn’t get to do, what you want for them, what you think is perfect?

And each day they reached for something beyond you. In your head you’d hear yourself saying….wait, not so fast. I’m not ready. I have so much to tell you. Listen………….

What IS amazing is that at some point they say, “hey, remember when you said?”.
While it may not be exactly what you said or even what you meant at the time, it strikes you that in some odd way your presence was felt.



What happens then when disaster strikes? When the least expected thing snatches your out of your hands? I have wandered funeral homes with mothers so bent in grief that the smell of it is like metal frying. If you know that smell, you know a mother’s pain.

A mother ages in seconds. I’ve seen it happen. The inner collapse, a slackness of the skin, as if all that held her up has crumbled to dust, her eyes rheumy, not crying, seeping……endlessly. We are made of hope, eh? Without it, we have no bones.

The feeling in your throat of air stopped before lungs can expand. The knowing that life is forever changed. Yet love is not something that can be taken back, indeed it bends you forward with its power. Still, it is not blind, and having seen is now somehow, despite what you would have thought, against all the realities of the world, deeper.

Just not as clean.

You cannot conceive the many without the one.

Though I don't have children, I can relate to your post. I spend a lot of time with children and not-so-young children, and I see the future which is always much better and more uplifting than the future that politicians peddle!

I hope you'll allow me a rant here. But it's the second time in a fortnight that Trump after allegedly offering sympathy to those affected by the Manchester and London terror attacks that Trump has used it to tweet his warped views and policies! He's not capable of relating to the families and friends of the victims without it being about him.
Ariana Grande is just starting to do her tribute concert here after Manchester ... and now London!
Sorry I just had to get that off my chest!
I understand if you delete this in case it offends the Trump trolls!


wickedeasy replies on 6/5/2017 12:39 pm:
this belongs here Spunky. my blog wasn't about the death of my child but about something happening that I couldn't see coming.

and when we live in times like these, with such a lack of leadership here that shows empathy, that holds its citizenry in high regard... our children are at high risk.

thank you for posting this. I consider it a statement of great worth and one that fits the moment perfectly.

I've never had children so I can never know the true emotions that having one brings. . Neither the good ones or the sorrow. . I can imagine that it must be so very intense. .
I'm not sure if I could handle such ups and downs. . Maybe it's best that I never did.

I always wanted to be a mom. I don't think there's anything I've done that I take more joy in than that.

We bring them to this world with the promise of unconditional love, hoping and praying to leave them behind one day. When tragedy happens and they go before us, I can not even comprehend the feeling of despair.


wickedeasy replies on 6/5/2017 12:51 pm:
this is not about death for me, though it has been for many others who I honor here. for me it is about seeing your child clearly. loving while knowing.

I do know the feeling Mothers go through, but, so do the fathers. Our son was murdered in a small town not far from us. Yes, you never get over it. He was 28, his bday is in two days, mine is today.

I am so sorry that you had to go through such a loss. it goes against the natural order of things, doesn't it?

I couldn't imagine the pain of losing a child. You're so right about the reader not caring for you... it's so damn frustrating when a kid won't stay "on script!"

I hope I never have to find out about that last part. I'm expecting to be a Granddad in the next week or so. My Daughter and her Husband are due to have a son.

I was asked recently why I loved someone so much (by he himself)...
What does one say? My heart only knows him.
My heart wants him in a way that is vastly different than other people.
My heart only sees him.
Hm, off to bed I go to dream of having him in my arms,
kk

The observant make the best lovers,
I may not do right, but I do write,
I have bliss, joy, and happiness in my life,

I do not have any children but had the intense pain of watching a friend deteriorate as she watched her daughter die slowly of undiagnosed breast cancer that spread. My friend looks just like your description and will never recover from this trauma
