My First Holiday

My two best friends are enjoying eternal rest, peace, and tranquility, leaving me to endure my first holiday without either of them to talk to or be with.   The phone won't ring. No one will ask if they can help or remark "Girl, it's smelling good up here." It is so hard.

Friends have invited me to join them so the choice to be alone is mine.  Yes, it is probably past time to be out and about but the lip still quivers and the tears fall like rain. Without notice. At any time.

Death is no longer a notion; it is all too real. It is a permanent void, ache, that cannot be filled or eased. Pray for me and all those who have lost loved ones.

All the Best.
