Hurt
Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face it’s been so long since I’ve heard you’re voice, sense of smell, you’re touch and everything else about you. You told me how proud you were but I just walked away like if only I knew what I knew today; I would hold you in my arms just to get a hug once last time, I would so take the pain away weather your in a war zone or due to this cronoavirus or whatever is causing you pain right now. Thank you for all you’ve done. I wish you could hear me saying that I forgive you for all your mistakes.

Lesson learned from my father
To tell my story, I must pay homage to a painful past, to a time when the world found itself in the thralls of hatred and division. The history I speak of does not even belong to myself. It belonged to my late father, a professional actor by trade and psychological refugee of the past. While my father never faced the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps, the loss of his parents at the hands of Hitler's regime resulted in deep scars that would accompany him through the day. His memories were like a silent personal assistant whose primary task was to remind him of the parents and family he had lost at Auschwitz. A fuller description is necessary to understand the quiet legacy that he would bring to each of his relationships. My father was born in Berlin, Germany, in1926. At that time, the threat posed by fascism was believed to be inconsequential. The conscience of Germany's voters would allow the destructive tendencies to ravage the country. People of conscience would never permit the rantings of the Nazi party to determine the country's fate. That was the belief at the time, a form of psychological denial, passionately embraced by intellectuals and more than a few historians. The country's cultural life gave little indications of its apocalyptic future. A free press still existed.

Where The stars take us
My jaw ached from the cold as I pushed through the snow, my legs threatening to give out from under me. My joints were so stiff that I felt them crackle and snap with every step forward. I wasn’t built for the cold and neither was my light attire. Tree branches slapped me, stinging and going numb time and time again against my face- the only thing that reassured me I was still alive. I didn’t even know where I was anymore. All I knew was that every step took me another step farther from home. I felt my horse’s breath against my neck. She was my only companion now. I let out a sigh and stopped searching for any sign of another living thing in the dense forest.

Good Freakin Grief
I play it in my head over and over of how you died. Your car crashing into a pole at a certain speed. You swerved, lost control, and rolled over five or so times. You lost control not paying much attention and hit a tree. The last one I found out to be true. Why did you decide to leave so early? I am at a loss of words as to how you made this decision to leave. Unless you didn’t. I am so upset and angry with you. How could you do this, how could you leave us like that? You had so much potential and you decided to through it away like the evening garbage. It’s not fair you did this. It’s not fair for our family. I am still in disbelief that this even happened. I am still shocked and think this is a nightmare that one day I’ll wake up from. Then I’ll call you and everything will be at ease when you answer the phone. It's like you're still here breathing… The whole world stopped at that moment when I heard the words you didn't make it. Let's take a step back.
