Crows in the Night

death came early this morning.

it wasn't unexpected, but it was just as shocking.

I was a rock until I allowed myself to think of it; to think of her. to think of him; the one she left behind. He will be hopelessly lost without her.

She was the kind of woman I wish my future children could have known. She was rough around the edges, but kind and humorous. And she loved her husband and family. There was love all around her.

At the end of a life, isn't that enough?

What are we waiting for? Why are we continuing to turn our wheels in the mud?

It's love. and family.

I'm so sorry that we didn't have "enough time" to come say goodbye. Cards and photos do not replace our actual faces and laughs. I see that now.
