The call...
you knew it would come...
you wondered when...
how would you...
feel...
react...
function...
It was inevitable...you tried to imagine...
rehearsed it in your mind...
Now it has come...you must go..others were called too...
coming from many directions...
Sharing your feelings...
sadness...
loss...
fear...
anxiety...
apprehension...
Now you gather...
and there you find...
comfort...
closeness...
courage...and strength
to face whatever lies ahead...
together...
Recalling the drive "Home" to be with my family
the weekend my mother passed away...
