Gone

Hi Sara, thanks for your thoughts.... Of course it can be looked at in a different light of it being a person passed and the pain of grief being almost treasured in order to hold onto more of that person... A few ways to consider this one liner I think.... Appreciated. Happy New Year!

Thanks Richard, that's exactly right. I believe as time heals one person to some degree there can be satisfaction from knowing the other is finally realising what has passed and been lost. I think this is necessary for healing to start on both sides. Good to see you...

Thank you Tim, I appreciate your coming by and commenting.

Thanks luloo... m so sorry to hear that, hope your pain has eased as mine as over time. There is life beyond if you find the right person to share with. Good to see you here.

Thank you very much, good to see you!

Thanks very much Charlie, good to see you here!

Sorry Anne-Lise your comment came up as I posted my previous response and I don't know how to delete the comment below - strange one on me... Thank you for coming by to comment it's good to see you.

Thanks for running this contest - it was fun to give it a whirl...

Thank you, I guess sometimes life's lessons are etched to be forever remembered no matter how well fate deals next hand... To let the heart and mind bleed out has brought much inspiration to my writing along side people watching. I am sorry to hear of your plight, but to know it is past tense I hope your new hand is as good as mine...
