Description

How can something be both the best and worst thing at the same time. Nearly three years have passed since I last heard from you. It’s said that time heals all but just a slight scratch of the surface still opens the wound. The advice is “stop scratching” but damned if I know how. There are more years behind me than in front and I’m ok with that. Life handed me experiences that I’ve learned so much from and I’m grateful. Even the “worst” experiences taught me something new about myself and helped me be better. I see now that the older I become, the years grow shorter. The fear now is will I live my remaining days with your ghost? Sigh, I’m too old for this crap!! I guess I’m not so old that I can still be a child. It’s time for you to let me go…..please.
