Hmmm…write write write,

What’s on my mind tonight?

We spent the long weekend in Penticton BC. 

Because my mother-in-law’s last day is soon to be.

Two days to visit and two to drive,

Just leaves me feeling half-alive. 

(I’m sorry it’s probably insensitive to say that,

But, with the pain and exhaustion, that’s just where I’m at!)

We weren’t going to go, but decided we should,

It was the right thing to do, it went (and felt) quite good. 

There were ups and downs, it was bitter-sweet, 

But it was important to go for our final meet.

She was excited to see us, but broken inside, 

A fact she tried so very hard to hide. 

She carried such sorrow and shouldered her pain,

Knowing she’d never see us again. 

I walked away with those thoughts in my head,

Cradling the words that were left unsaid.

I don’t envy what she is going through,

Never knowing when the end will come for you.

Like waves, the fear seemed to be rolling off of her

Leaving her exposed and feeling so unsure. 

A day at a time, we’ll take it from there,

She needed to know that people do care. 

I send her my blessings, of faith, hope and love,

She said, “I’ll be with you whenever you smell the scent of Dove…”

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
