Mourning

Every morning when I expect to hear your knock at my door, and I don’t….. I'm in HELL.

Every time I go to the bathroom and see the light you just bought and installed for me…..

I’m in HELL.

Every time I’m in public and am reminded of a time we shared over the past 13 years or even something you enjoyed…..

I’m in HELL.

Every time I start thinking about what I should’ve said or done differently……

I’m in HELL.

Every time I wish I could have just one hour, minute, or even a second to say goodbye……

I’m in HELL.

Every time I realize that I have to remain here - without you…

I’m in HELL.

But, every time I look into our son’s bright, blue eyes and see yours staring back at me …........

For just a moment…..

I’m in Heaven.

I will always love you.
