It took till today for me to face my demons. Tears are bring fought rt now. Black dress. Wedge heels. Cause i never like saying farewell to someone close to my age 37 no pause I grew up listening to u laugh I liked pictures of your family and ur struggle I said maybe next year to seeing us all together Now thats a memory and we singing sad songs and making toast So not fair Im older now maybe i should be wiser. I should recognize mortality i have worked in hospitals all my life. My cousin fought and won. All the others seceded. I thought that meant i would see u again. Insert hard to say goodbye music here. And while i so dread this walk to the car This drive to ur celebration of life I get to see friends we call mutuals I get to fire off the quips that make people laugh most inappropriately. Im good at that I get to watch the strong hold back pain and sorrow until doors are shut and all is serene I get to watch your children so young question what i at 37 should already know and repeat to myself my own favorite verse in hopes of removing this pain in my heart rt now. He only gives his heaviest burdens to his strongest of warriors. Except rt now I dont feel so strong This is life And i am so proud to say at one time u knew my name Dont forget it when we meet again The wedges are a pain I can happily say you have given life to my struggle tho I will fight another day so that someone else doesnt fall victim Im going to listen aretha sing now.... When youre down and out When youre on the street When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you Ill take your part Oh, when darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Peace & Blessings Heather Dashields May your family find rest With Love ~Stef
