Etched upon my heart...
I said goodbye to my mom today. She was only briefly lucid for moments here and there, before drifting back away. I think of these times as the soul slipping its last tether to the body. I have faith she'll remember that I was there, and that I held her hand as she fell asleep. I know that I, at least, will.
We spent the morning together, dreaming, talking, and making love. You were, as always, exactly what I needed, though I could see in your beautiful eyes the ache of not being able to hold me through all of this. Believe me when I say that the want so clear on your face is still a great comfort. And in less than a month, I can rest my head on your chest, and let the beat of your heart carry me the rest of the way to peace. I love you, my sweet girl, with all that I am.
