A few days away Hello dear reader, it’s been a while since I’ve spoken to you. I tend to wait until I have something to say. And when it comes to this subject, grief that is, I thought I was done writing about it. Though it is the backdrop today it isn’t the main subject…Continue reading “With And Without Her: “Abandoned””

“With and Without Her: My Year Alone”
Sitting on this bench in Battery Park today, in the stifling heat; my mind flashed back to a year ago. Sharol and I trying to get some time together before her operation. Before she wouldn’t able to walk long distances and dance or sit for long periods of time. Before,Continue reading ““With and Without Her: My Year Alone””
“Without Her: The Fate of The Furious…”
What is the Fate of the Furious? 11 months later and 2 years after our last ride together… I recently saw the latest thrill ride from the Fast and Furious sequels. Because I’m like my dad and like cars that go zoom! I was not disappointed. Before going, asContinue reading ““Without Her: The Fate of The Furious…””
“Without Her: Sacred Dust”
I have picked up my pen several times, placed the pad in front of me and yet, I haven’t been able to finish anything. Is it because my muse is missing? Is it laziness? Is it grief? Or perhaps a combination of all of the above… Last time, dearContinue reading ““Without Her: Sacred Dust””
“Beloved”
On the road again. Sitting in the hotel room with Michael W Smith playing in the background;I looked over the pile of pillows to see my daughter reading a book. A deep engulfed trance. She’s reading a novel written by a Mennonite author, it’s my book actually but I let her check itContinue reading ““Beloved””
“Without Her: 9 Months Later, I’m Not Okay”
I was sitting down watching Nashville the TV show the other week. I was so happy that it returned. Since ABC cancelled it, Country Music Television picked it up. I can’t say I’m anywhere close to liking the writing this season. First off, they are screwing up every relationship on the show, everyone isContinue reading ““Without Her: 9 Months Later, I’m Not Okay””
“I Love You”
I Love You… Three big, little words. Big in it’s meaning or meanings but small in a sense; in the amount of words and effort it takes to write or say the sentence. It is the sentence that every woman as well as every man in love wants to hear. Every child wants to hear their parentsContinue reading ““I Love You””
“Without Her: 7 Months Later”
Hello, dear readers, a lot has happened since I last wrote to you. I started a “6 Months Later” but never posted it, I didn’t feel it and thought it’s better to write honest feelings, rather than write something I forced out. Hey, if I’m gonna write about this stuff, that I really don’tContinue reading ““Without Her: 7 Months Later””
“Without Her: Friday Night Booze and Bluez”
It started with one glass then another then another and another… Like a fisherman I casted out my text to see who would bite. I was in the mood to talk. There was a lot on my mind and I needed someone. It was a long day. I just wanted to goContinue reading ““Without Her: Friday Night Booze and Bluez””
“Without Her: 4 Months Later”
October 14th marks the fourth month… and to quote Chris Stapleton,”My life has become a country song” How fitting too, since I’ve been listening to country music for the past month. Yes, the chocolate colored man likes a little country too… The last two months, dear reader,has been filledContinue reading ““Without Her: 4 Months Later””
