there are only memories
the last bit of grief left behind
a shared moment in time
the one who shared it
has gone away
left longing for the one
to relive it
aching for the one
to share it again
hope deferred and heart sick

Jason, your words take me to my mother who is dealing with her own grief from the loss of her husband and my stepfather. Thankfully, each day a bit more light shines her way.
