Without You

Jennie, I am constantly looking out at the world and seeing things and thinking, yes, but without you. 

Blossoms on trees, but without you seeing them. A song you liked, but without you hearing it. Something new happening, but without you knowing about it. When the two Michaels were released, I couldn’t believe it was without you. Important and mundane, all without you. It’s unthinkable anything could be without you. 

It is all without you here on earth, but Jennie, as long as I’m here I carry you with me. I wish with all my soul you were here in the flesh to be with me, and your children. But I will never let you go. Not ever.

Two Years Ago

Jennie, I am sorry everyday that I didn’t understand. What you were living with was unbearable. We have all come to understand how things were, and see first hand just how destabilizing it would have been. It’s all too late.  I’m with you in these days while you were still here to kiss and hold, and before you gave everything you had. There are 7 strangers who will also be remembering you in a deep and profound way. Their lives tied to our tragedy, If I had seen what was happening to you, would you still be here?

He’ll be thinking of you. He’s a good person. Loving. To me he acts polite at best. Our special bond has been broken.
