First, I lost my house. Then Pat passed away. Then my mother passed. Now they are all only a memory. Past of my history. Never to repeat or return again. I remember them fondly but know I will never see them again or own a house again. Broken bits of history. Exactly! The past is gone. The present stinks and the future is uncertain. So I got up this morning and got myself a beer. The futures uncertain and the end is always near.
Like all rivers that flood The pain of loss will flood your eyes with tears from the river of love . One day that river of love will slowly rise again flooding that pain away . Memories will fill your eyes with joy from that river of love
