A Memory Hug

My loss has left a hole in my heart.
That hole never goes away...
I learn to live with it.
With acceptance of the loss
And changes in my life,
The pain lessens.
Eventually memories fill up the space.
But it never goes away.
Then, when I least expect it,
A memory spills out
Of the hole in my heart
And washes me clean again with tears.
I think of it as a "MEMORY HUG'.

  1. Memory hugs are as awesome as they are painful. Melissa has hugged me so many times when I have needed her. I know she is my angel. Thank you for making her.

  2. Debbie, I can't even imagine having your strength. Thank you for your courage to go on living and loving. I'm so glad I saw your pic on my follower list. I just came over to say hello but come away deeply touched. Thank you for sharing your story. Sandra @sawdustandpaperscraps
