Dear Grief
Sometimes you come in like a thief in the night.
Other times, you give us time to prepare.
You fill our pillows with small puddles of tears as we wish our loved ones were still here.
Your grip on our minds and hearts can be overbearing, and sometimes there seems to be no end in sight.
The feelings you bring are sometimes darker than the roughest of nights.
We muddle through your tangled road map, twisting, turning, redirecting, and mourning.
We'll never be able to get away from you completely.
We will figure out how to deal with you.
We deal and we find different ways to find comfort and peace.
Dear grief, there are no winners in this.
Hope will be sought and found.
Until then, we will go round and round.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
