When someone you l-ov-e dies, people
ask how you're doing, but they
don't really want to know. They (seek
affirmation) that you're okay, that you
appreciate thier concern, that life goes on and so can they.
Secretly they wonder when teh statue of limitations on asking
expires. (It's three months, by the way. Written
or unwritten, that's about all the time
it takes for people to forget the one thing you never will.) They
don't want to know that you'll never
again eat birthday cake because you don't want to erase the { m a g
i c a l } taste of the frosting on his lips.
that you ...wake... up every day wondering why you
got to live and he didn't. That on the
first afternoon of your first real vacation, you sit in
front of the ocean, face -hot- under the giant sun,
willing him to give you a sign that he's
o.k.a.y.
