Here One Minute, Gone the Next

Life is so precious, it's truly a gift. But my life came to a halt when you passed away. You were here one minute, gone the next. But I had to some how find a reason to keep on living. I knew that's what you would want me to do. But it wasn't easy, when you left my reason for living ceased. You were here one minute, gone the next. It all happened so suddenly, you appeared to be in perfect health. It's a struggle to keep on going but I keep on living for the both of us. 10/03/19 Contest: Here One Minute, Gone The Next Sponsor: Line Gauthier

Sometimes we go through the motions at first knowing it's what they would want. Hopefully, in time, we find reasons of our own. A powerful piece ~ great job, Alexis :)

When your beloved is suddenly gone and there's no 'advance warning,' no time to prepare, it is overwhelming, isn't it? … Somehow one staggers onward. ~ Gershon
