Christmas After Someone Dies
I ran into an old friend today. We chit-chatted a bit and she had a lot of good news to share.
When I walked away, I reached in my pocket to get my phone to call another old friend. I dialed his number and then hung up………because I realized he died last month. I always reached for my phone when I had good news because he liked to hear about it.
Normally when peopleI know have died, I would talk to other people who I know about that person. Yet, I’m not friends with any of his friends. So I just miss him alone.
We were friends for so long and his death was unexpected. I wish I could just fast forward past the crying and missing part and get to the part where I just remember the good memories and the laughter.
And I just don’t feel like celebrating Christmas
when
I
just
feel
sad.
I don’t like cats too much, but this guy has grown on me and sits on the top of my computer chair. He’s kinda cool.
Hugs,
marlene
